Cons for a turbo would be the maintenance, fuel and fixing things that break, but if you buy a good base, mod the thing properly, you won't have much trouble... Pros, PPOWWWARRRRRCons for the n/a, its n/a... Pros, ????

Nobody here is thinking "I wish mine wasn't a turbo". If you go the n/a you will be saying "fark I wish I had the turbo". If you want one that's less likely to be flogged, buy the G6e turbo, they are only driven by cardigan wearing lawn bowlers. 1

I made sure to make a lot of noise as my car with no markings passed his car with extra markings!
