Fyi...anti-lag is not something that's a feature in a car. Its a feature in the engine management you choose to control your car. So any car can be equipped with anti-lag.
I wasn't planning on going racing so laptimes are irrelevant. Oh and I'm not a man thanks. Given you aren't allowed to time on trackdays laptimes are still irrelevant.
I realise the limitations of an NA but that does not mean a turbo is better. For the more power it makes it loses in throttle response. As I said 200bhp is plenty enough for what I want.

I think people underestimate how important having razor sharp throttle response is. I always notice the lag of a turbo when I have driven turbo cars on track. I even notice it slightly in supercharged cars of which I've had two which were extensively tracked in the UK & Europe.

The engine is in the car ergo it's a feature of the car. Sure you can fit anti-lag and go faster stripes but we aren't talking about modified cars are we?
