I personally love high revving cars 
I like driving NA so im with you.
Turbos are fun, but NA power is much more drivable.
I know what i'd rather have on track

is a ctr as quick as a 14 year old calibra turbo? same power of engines. no??? i didnt think they were either
No but a 14 year old NSX is quicker. might have more cubic capacity , but the Cally has forced induction.

Calibra also has a Turbo and one of the lower CO drag factors of any produced car...
For fast road/motorway, i've have the cally, for some pornographic track action, the Type R...

its the owners that have made the CTR so hated. they think they are invincible and most think VTec is a Turbo or something.

I know not to take that article seriously the moment I saw this
Rover K-Series
After taking apart motorbike engines for inspiration, Rover engineers created an award-winning powerplant with the K-Series. The lightweight construction and long-bolt design meant it was tightly packaged, and the design eventually spanned everything from a 1.1-litre four pot to a 2.5-litre V6. Until recently it also powered sports cars from Lotus and Caterham.
