Message	::What's the point of being able to put down 300hp 1% of the time?? :The truth was my NA would always be an NA, it wasn't meant to put down big numbers. How rediculous would it be to carry a 300hp "potential" without being able to harness it on a daily basis?... I'd vote for smaller turbos with all the low-end mods you could find (i.e. NA tranny, UD pulley?, good intake/exhaust, nitrous) over a giant turbo car. :George Yeah, I'm beginning to value practicality more and more. While I'd love to have a car that put down big numbers, it would only really shine at dyno meets. On the other hand having good streetable power is fun all the time. Now I'm just wondering how much lag I can really put up with before it gets annoying. The more I think about this stuff, the more I think Sport 500's kick ass.
