Do you have very many miles in a car with a VR6 engine? More power, a linear power band and one of the best sounds in the automotive world.
Turbos are fun, but, if I could have a turbo with 300hp or have an N/A motor with 300hp, I'd probably rather have the N/A car. Of course, if the options were N/A motor with 300hp or turbo with 425-450hp, that would probably be a different story.
