Now in support of the NA approach,
Turbochargers are for people who cant build engines. – Keith Duckworth
BUT sadly, a 2.0L NA just doesn't have the ability to fullfill quote one on a 2600 lb car 
What's funnier is Mr. Duckworth had to swallow his words when his 3.5L DFR (NA V8) engines couldn't keep up with turbocharged 1.5L engines.
...I actually just realized that you own an Exige and yes, I do miss owning a good and tight mid engine RWD anything, that's why I've been designing my own for about a year now.

There was more going on there at the time. You know anyone that is running straight toluene in their turbo car so they don't blow up under ridiculous boost? Plus street cars don't have to fight the retarded amounts of drag that the high downforce cars were making back then.
When fuel and downforce were limited the DFV owned everything for
years. Plus Cosworth didn't only make F1 engines.
