The V-8 guys are right to a point....

and I am open minded, which is why I drive a turbo 4 now. When you want power AND torque right now, there is no replacement for displacement. I am a former V8 junkie, now turned to a turbo junkie. I am impressed with the power that can be acheived from my 121ci four cylinder in my car. I'm also impressed with the stump pulling torque generated by big blocks. The point is, power can be had in many forms, but you have to choose what type you like. If money were no object, I'd have the best of both worlds, large displacement AND turbos. My budget only allows me to have one or the other and this time I chose turbo power and I'm very happy with it.
