It's disappointing for a group who claims to defend the superior way of doing things. At one point, people not that different said they'll never buy fuel injection. Someday, those choices might be taken away from you. Accept the fast car on virtue of being fast.

I'd say you're not listening to most V8 fans then. Why make a more complicated engine when you already have a simpler one that performs as well as, if not better, than a smaller engine with forced induction?
To listen to most TT boosters, adding turbos to something not only increases horsepower and torque, but gas mileage all at the same time!
Let's meet in the middle and mandate all cars must have V8's
with twin turbos (for teh ecology!).
