Question

What do you like about turbo cars?

Answer 1

fast

Answer 2

The fact that they compensate for air pressure at high altitude. At 14,000 feet, non aspirated engines get their power cut by almost half. Going up a hill requires everything that it's got. A turbo will compensate for the lower pressure as it can spin faster to compress the air. A small turbo may reduce power by a decent amount, but still not as near of a loss as the N/A car. A car with a good sized turbo that requires boost limitation due to octane limitations of the fuel will retain more power.

Answer 3

The potential of the power that the turbo engine can avail you in driving.

Answer 4

hp is everything to a racer, but most of the turbocharged cars today are ricers, and that means the eurostyle fast and furious display, and the boost of power to make a 2500lb gas saver go from 20-100 as quick as it takes naturally aspirated daily drivers to go from 20-60. You have to be careful though, most turbo based racers aren't what they should be unless they have a combo turbo/shot nos installed. I personally like turbo for the torque boost, and torque is key to takeoff!!! Downside to turbos really is just the gas milage drop, they take a little more gas to run, but they're twice as fun!!!
