This is why;

-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.

I've been called many things, but called foolish and having my driving competency questioned are not among that resume'. It's obvious you're trying to elicit an emotional response from me, however such immaturity never positively contributes to a discussion. Since you have very few posts, I went a read your previous posts to get an idea who you are. You appear to be an angry individual with a narrow perspective and little tolerance for others with perspective wider or centered differently from yours. Your modded STI is the center of your universe and anyone claiming otherwise elicits a deep-seeded emotional reaction. This makes your presence on this forum rather ironic, as the BRZ's context is one of passion, not lap times.
Regarding your response to my comment, you are very distinctly confusing competition with enjoyment, fun from entertainment, and demographic consistency with negativity.
Boost threshold does not equal boost lag. Boost lag is what turns an engine from the fun connection of an n/a or supercharged engine to an entertaining show of latent power. They both have satisfaction, but for different reasons.
Your constant reference to competition is endearing, but those looking for individual fun make drag races and lap times irrelevant.
McLaren cars have always focused on being a clinical tool for the job; they do not emphasize emotional connection with their cars. This has been consistent since Ron Dennis has come on board. I have exceptional respect for him and his organization. At no time did I "trash" them, only point out their forte and focus and how that differs from the FT-86 and Ferrari road cars in general.
