I have an Ibiza Cupra at the moment (around 200bhp) and love turbo power. Im considering getting a CTR for a bit , but will I be dissapointed without turbo ?

all that lag and no turbo... I'd say so but I'm not the one making the jump.

I plan never to go back to N/A cars.
Your Cupra will out perform a CTR by a fair bit so I'd say yes, you'd be dissapointed. Stick to turbos!

i've had loads of turbo cars, but IMO ctr's are still great cars, especially with a gruppe m.
i'd have another.

n/a = naturally-aspirated
forced induced i.e turbo or supercharger/blower

i found when i changed from a corsa let to a diesel bmw, it was nice to have a different car for a while, but after a while you start to miss the power

I think you'll find it weird at first, as you'll have no low down torque and have to keep it buzzing.

I can't imagine a standard 200 bhp cupra being much different than a CTR though really.

Turbos are for gays who can't produce power in any other way, its cheating, like NOS

I reckon a CTR will be much more fun than an ibiza, you just have to drive it fast

Depends tbh both my mate have gone from a 280bhp and 300bhp car and both got them selves a 328 sport bmw and they are glad they did it. not having to worry about the turbo maintainance has done them a big favour to the money in there pocket but they did have highly tuned cars

I agree, CTR would be a better car to drive... better gearbox, handling and more fun.

Personally though, should just get a 106 gti.
