The deal is that if I manage to keep up with them, can we stop this stupid argument once and for all please?
I would also offer the same deal for the MkI's
- lets face it, MkI's and N/A's just arnt as fast on circuit as a Turbo, why do we waste so much time arguing about it?
Pointless.

lower wrote:my view is that it is easier to drive an NA on the limit on a track than a turbo because the power delivery is more linear.on a feathered throttle with the turbo when you apply throttle the torque comes in very suddenly and that is what can cause you problems if you are not prepared for it.
With an NA you don't get the big lump of torque.

Of course I could extend the argument and say you only have your MR2T cos you couldn't afford something better yourself

Yeah, tubby owners used to think that back when I had my NA too.

Yeah just think you could have got a badly made saloon with a big spoiler instead.![]()

.most of the turbo owners get used to being fast on the road and, subsequently, end up being slowest on track.

That's not really true.![]()
Not being derogatory but have you ever driven a turbo charged car?
Turbos are not either on or off and the accelerator likewise is not an on/off switch.

The only surge you get from a turbo is when lag is overcome.

When taking a corner this is only an issue if you change gear midway through.

If you are on-boost coming into the corner then the power delivery is still subtle and predictable.
