There do seem to be a percentage of people on the forum that are so busy projecting their emotional baggage they can't be bothered to understand the point of this car, and that's unfortunate.
Just for the record, I'm not a turbo hater. My daily driver is a turbo Diesel and it's fantastic. I built a turbo R53 MINI with excellent success. One of my absolute favorite drivers cars of all time is the Evo IX. There is without question a time and place for turbo's in the vast expanse of the automotive world.
In the specific context of the FT-86, where having the car hard-wired to your brain is the primary thesis, a turbo will detract from that connection and transform the car into more of a performance car but less a sports car. If TRD comes out with a supercharged kit, that will still change the character of the car [mainly acoustic], but it won't completely invert it like a turbo would.
