I used to test drive cars for a local repair shop. In that time I
drove quite a few turbos. No after market turbo cars just right off
the line ones. My favorite was a Saab 900 4 dr turbo. A very fun
and fast car.
But still I get a bad feeling when driving a turbo. Kind of like I'm
cheating. I feel like the makers were to lazy to design a aspirated
engine of the equivelent power. They just thought to themselves
"lets just slap a turbo on it and we'll sell it as the sport model".
I don't hate turbos though. My favorite part about is not the
performance but that cool high pitched noise they make as they kick
in.
SQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
