    depends on the motor, i hear that anything smaller than 6 cylinders will run rough. I personally think NA should only be for V8's, anything else wouldnt really have amazing potential

    It all depends on what you want to do. Ive owned N/A cars, turbo cars and supercharged cars. i love the feel and sound of a turbo, but would much rather drive a Z06 than my turbo honda,lol

    NO ONE cares about or is impressed by the cars you USED to own, why don't you put all the cars in your neighborhood in your sig as well, you don't own those either!

    I am NA, but I will freely admit that boost it more fun, exhilarating, and rewarding.

    I completely respect both, as long as they're well done. I do prefer N/A almost purely for the induction noise though. Check out these short vids.

    This is how N/A makes you cream:

    Listen to this shit. You know for a FACT that you're asking the motor to do all that it can do... gotta love it.

    Personally, at my age, my friends are all into boosted cars just because of their blowoff valves and because they sound good this and that blahblahblah, but me i dont really like all that hype. SURE, hearing a turbo spool and a blowoff valve is nice, but there are some all motor cars that i've seen that a couple of my friends have that would probably give their boosted counterpart a nice run for their money..

    LOL, and as a budding engine builder, i personally like the way all-motor makes you stay on your toes as far as when you think about piston-to-valve clearances, getting your timing to be dead-on, reading out bearing clearances, etc. I'm sure boost makes you stay on your toes as well, but in a different way; like monitoring air temperatures, pressures, etc. For some reason, it just doesn't fascinate me as much as the all-motor does, its almost like a mystery to me how you can tap so much power out of something so small without forced induction. lol.

    Well I havent read the thread entirely so im just answering the question:

    Ive had a boosted 4 banger, NA 6, Nitroused 6, NA 8 Banger, and now a Boosted 8.

    It would take a lot for me to ever not have a boosted V8 ever again lol
