Yeah but in traffic they seem rather dull and lets be honest, you cant REALLY drive them to the brink of their ability all the time. They are fast no doubt, deceptively so where you dont realise you are flying at that velocity, but the feeling of speed, the gut wrench is what really brings a smile accross my face. Remember its not about getting to the destination, but how you get there that counts and somehow turbos just feel the better choice
