This is why Ferrari's drop panties and McLaren's get NASA-geek attention.

This is ridiculous, you are clearly a reader not a driver. You are generalizing beyond idiocy.
This is why;
-Australian v8 supercars are turbo'ed
-Some lmp1 american leman cars
-FERRARIS BEST and many other f1 cars until 1989 when turbos were banned. Ferraris 1980's turbo f1 car was a dominator
You don't even understand the argument you are making. There is some validity to joe schmoe saying his z06 or whatever it may be has good low end and response compared to a car with a turbo (generally against a stock car). However a similarly displaced car with a turbo charged, or a correctly matched turbo/engine setup can easily dominate an n/a car and give far better response. N/A cars like m3 have zero torque and crap low end, so low end could easily be matched by a turbo'ed car.try driving one.
Saying they detract from emotional response is utter horseshit. The rush oh a high horsepower turbo car is hard to beat, and if fast with a robust powerband theres nothing better.
If ferrari had a turbo you'd crap yourself in the drivers seat. Ferrari knows only a certain amm of power combine with handling is needed and at a certain point more power is too much, and thats true of any chasis/drivetrain.
Also trashing mclaren is idiotic and makes you look foolish.
