Default Daily Driver question

I plan to swap a motor in the future. It will either be a built GSR motor or a LS-Turbo.

Now this car will be daily driven and track raced occasionally. I want the car fast, but also safe enough to be able to drive in bad (Houston) traffic. I know that LS-Turbo is powerful, but I am a little scared that it will be a pain in the *** as a daily driver since the turbo will spool. Now I love turbo, but I want opinions. Thank you.

You can drive normally and not spool.
