Would you rather have 700hp or turbo hp or 700hp of N/A hp? to everyone

Imo, 700hp of turbo, because that typically means even more hp is as simple as turning up the boost (and adding some octane).

w/e turbo boy, anyone who knows anything about cars would say that 700hp of na power would walk all over 700hp of turbo power

Some things that I think are facts.
A car with 700hp without a turbo would have more power & torque in the lower RPM's.

A car with 700hp with a turbo will have better traction off starts since it won't spin the wheels as much=better grip off starts.

And suggesting that pwpanas does not know anything about cars
He is the biggest contributor *easily* in the MKIV section.

Maybe in the 1/8th, 'pushrod kid' ... but somehow I don't think cars were invented to race a stone's throw and then shut down to sip a bud.

Tony, thanks for your kind words & support...

I lived in Dearborn Michigan for 7 years (SVT territory) and even some of the guys at SVT admitted that the weak link in the Cobra is Getting it to hook up.
(They though it was a big joke when ford would have them build a 700hp monster for the Woodward dream cruise "Hows it drive? Like a old F150 on ice") The second weak link is when the Cobra Driver shifts into second gear. I always pull away from them at that point (My Supra TT is an Automatic) I love to see their hood dip, then they see my taillights.

Alright whatever, I think its dumb that we should be bickering about a turbo or n/a, just your opinion and how you drive, but the fact of the matter is they both have 700hp, and another thing im hardly a "pushrod kid" I drive a 99 bmw m3.

first off anyone who owns a slowbra is an idiot and shouldnt be considered any type of tuner bc its the worst bang for your buck in its catagory and the GTO has a ton more potential so let the brainless idiots talk all the shit they want btw the 03/04 cobra is faster then MK4's and 3KGT's (bone stock) but what I want to know is what the f*ck ford was doing all 10 years it took for them to finally beat a 1993 6cyl????????????????????????????
