TURBO

Most of the fastest cars in the world used forced induction, and most of that is via turbocharging. NOS is a cool idea for the track, but for the street? How many FF street cars/drivers are able to handle an instant 50+ HP. Nothing beats the sound and feel of an all-motor engine, namely DOHC VTEC Hondas, with their high winding top end power, it feels like a race car. Supercharging, on a small displacement, low torque engine just doesnt seem like a good idea from the start. As for turbocharging, bang for the buck - it cant be beat. Most USDM available turbo vehicles can make huge gains for reletivly* small amount of money. If you wanna be the fastest, you gotta have boost.
