I think the turbo guys don't know how many chuckles they get from onlookers at AX. Mind you, we're all very charitable and respectful, but it is comical to watch someone try to AX a powerful, earlier-generation (lag) turbo. Later turbos are smoother (less lag), and they do better but not very much better. Just less funny.

No, for AX you want a normally aspirated engine.

The perfect car would have a wheel base that is both wider and longer than a 911, perhaps with the wheels virtually at the extreme corners of the car. As I say the car's stance would be wide and long, but the car would be small, especially in height. It would be very squatty height-wise. It would have the engine in the center of the car, with the drive wheels in the rear. The engine would not need to be a high-horsepower thing, just peppy is all. It would be lightweight also. There is a car that fits these criteria quite well.
