[QUOTE="twistedneck, post: 15427671, member: 130159"] Ahh yes a good debate to start :) - Turbo cars even new nice ones like the Subaru WRX have pretty annoying lag and when they come in they hit too hard, then they tend to go flat and even drop off. Nothing good there from a power band perspective. I agree, the newest EB motors are spectacular - heavy but excellent... in order to do that right you need an unusually light electric motor with very exotic controls and caps capable of supplying enough current to zip them to 100,000 rpm in 0.5 seconds.. too expensive now but when it comes it is the future of turbos.. If you live in a high altitude state Turbo is mandatory. If you have a small engine that needs more than the usual NA tricks then a supercharger is best for no lag but if you need to make big power and you cannot build a mountain motor - then a turbo is for you just deal with the strange surge and dead spots. If you want gas mileage with an acceptable torque and HP, in a small package - that is where turbo's shine.. and they are getting forced down our throats on race cars like the McLaren's V6. They are now in the bad boy Mustang and the Focus RS. Even the Carerra 911S - traditionally a normally aspirated car now has twin turbos - all in the name of fuel economy. [/QUOTE]
