I guess that's the difference between the opposite sides of the pond. Over here it seems most prize simplicity in engineering. We see things like turbos, variable valve timing, complex computer controls, and other trickery as last ditch efforts to make a lackluster engine into something worthy. Most Americans figure if it needs a turbo to go fast, it wasn't engineered very well to begin with. I guess it comes down to where you're from :-). What all did you do to get your car to 170 hp anyways?

The result of years of high fuel taxation over here and in Japan has resulted in massive investment by car companies into actually engineering their engines to get the best out of them, unlike the american companies who merely stick a couple more cylinders on or add bigger pistons to make the cars go faster. Give me the well engineered whine of a turbo spooling up and launching a car forward so fast you feel the skin on your face peeling back. My own car is up to 170bhp and boy is it fun.
