'You do not seem to understand what it is to adjust a throttle mid corner.

That is where lag is a nightmare and not something you'd experience on a high revving NA.

This statement is perfecly correct which is why I would pick a N/A car with sharp throttle response for track days and for fun on a deserted

'B' road.

BUT,the error that you constantly make,Lauren, is that we are discussing ROAD driving and in 2009 the

'B' road' no longer exists.

So I prefer a smallish turbo,around 2000cc,that combines torque for effortless overtaking with the ability still to achieve 35 mpg on a run when driven reasonably quickly.Not throttle adjustable mid corner and you can't blip properly to heel and toe downchange so on the ROAD I now do neither but I'm fast enough,only bikes and Corsa chavs that I let go overtake me.Slow in,fast out.

.the old way,no tail provoking big power applications or abrupt lift-offs.

I think you will find that if you urgently need to adjust the throttle mid-corner you are going too fast for safety on the ROAD.

MR2 turbos I know little about.

.but if they are old school like a Sierra Cosworth and completely flat below 3000 revs then I wouldn't like them.Modern turbos get up and go from below 2000 revs.

BMW M3's? Good cars but
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£40k so I personally would never compare them to cheaper vehicles.

BMW quality,same as Merc,OK but not that much better in the long run,especially lifespan of wear and tear components.

Clinically efficient in interior character but no more inspiring than an expensive washing machine or fridge.
