Default Why all motor?

So, why did you decide all motor? Challenge? Don't know **** about turbos? Love revving to 10K?

Personally, I'm just sick of every jack *** with $2000 slapping a snail on a car and thinking it's fast. There is just a feel of joy when I pull up next to a GS-T or a GT Stang and beat them with no snail or half the cylinders. Too bad it's damn expensive going all motor. Post up your thoughts

Chris

I went all motor initially for the fact that its impressive, reliable, and gets good gas mileage. But i'm a sell out, next month I'll be changing most likely.

Most usuable powerband of any type, the responce, the revs, the idle, the underdog just to name a few. I know plenty about S/C, Turbo's and N20 as well. I enjoy N/A.

Force Induction is like forcing chicken to eat more wheat so they'll grow faster.

Nitrous is like injecting steroid into an athlete so he'll performs better.

Natural Aspired is pure and fresh and simple, yet it's the most challenging of all. No cutting corners here, every last bit of efforts counts.

I was in a slower turbo car and it felt much faster than my car. Since the powerband is more broad and linear, it doesn't feel fast. However, with a turbo car, when boost is built it, there is a power surge and that makes it feel fast.

I agree I think it's more of an accomplishment to go fast naturally-aspirated. You can always up the boost (or throw on a bigger turbo), or spray a little more nitrous. But when you win n/a, it makes you feel proud that you won without all that stuff.
