The Nissan GTR has turbos, and NA GT3s are having a hard time catching it on the 'ring.
Come on, with technological advances, turbo does not nessesarily mean losing the true character of sports cars. With proper development it could be just as good.
Stop bashing BMW M just because it is putting turbos into their engines... this is a childish argument.

Sorry I have problem following your logic. I am simply saying that FI does NOT equal to 'boring' engine and car. That's it. And at this point how do you know that the M5/6 will have the same 7k redline as the X5/6?!
