Re: Small turbos make me smile
When you consider a car as a machine with the ability to go, stop and turn it becomes quite apparent that 300-400whp is plenty for the vast majority of people. It's not until you are at the limit of adhesion going through a corner at 60mph+, you hit the apex and power out of the turn that you really understand how much power you really have control of. Any more than that and an inexperienced driver would wind up going the wrong way off the pavement, or worse. Add in the fact that most people do not upgrade their brakes and suspension when they reach these power levels and the chance for disaster increases.
When I discovered that my measly 300whp/wtq car could spin the wheels on wet pavement in 2nd gear I truly understood how much of a car I was in control of. The unfortunate part of all this is people fail to understand how much fun a car of this power level is, and there's so much more to it than going fast in a straight line. Small turbos truly shine when you're turning the wheel.
