haha. your replies don't seem like 1 or 2 things. sorry to interrupt. please continue. this is getting interesting.
BTW. i prefer turbo for drifting. don't know why. i guess it just sounds cool to have a "turbo". people click when they hear turbo, but not many people even know what na stands for. haha.
That's just funny and sad...maybe it's just me...that just reminds me of the ignorance some people carry...sorry if that sounded offending to what you said...annywho...
knowing a lot about cars, I'd rather prefer N/A, it has better response, may not have the power for low displacment like many turbo cars, but becuase I think in corners, not straits (that mentally started when I realized my favorite car, the C4 Corvette ZR-1 was 20 or so miles slower than a Ferrari F40, so I'd figure I'd look for other areas of performace...) more ofthen than not save for if I'm concerned about speed on any strait road between turns...N/A is better.
As said here, and I'll say it myself in my own words that was simialr to what Ryouske from Initial D said. A turbo is the best weapon for straits, for turns, no matter what kind of turbo it is, even a bi-turbo setup, it will suffer from lag and your ability to take corners will be affected compared to a N/A car.
Becuase of the nature of turbos and even superchargers (depsite how they have an opposite negative effect as opposed to turbos, superchargers are best for low revolutions while turbos are for hi revs, thus there's innefficency on low RPM for turbos and an opposite effect for superchargers...) I'd rather go with N/A due to it's wider power band commpaired to a turbo. Some companies have indeed gone to the trouble to develop better turbo setups for their engines such as SAAB being able to make a turbo spoil at such low RPM for many reasons. But no matter what lag is lag even though it's an achievemt in some sense for an engine to have a turbo that spoils so quickly at such low engine RPM.
The only engine I know of to have boht a supercharger and turbocharger for the purpose of having little to no lag is the 1.8L Inline 4 of the Lancia Delta S4, the group B car that more or less ended group B due to that fatal accident on May 1st 1986.
Anywho, to stick back, I'd stay with an N/A for most cases, I like the better response, even if there isn't as much power, in a sense, if you keep a comparrsion between a N/A and turbo within relative power limits, a N/A has more power avaible compared to a Turbo even if the turbo has more power even by a little. I could be wrong but that's how I'd figure. I can't figure how else I was able to recover so quickly in a Ford GT-40 race car on Apricot hill after getting out of a drift when I compare it to something like say... a Mines' Skyline or a JGTC R34 GTR...when I had let the revs drop a lot more than usuall...I wish I had a video card to show you what I mean...oh well...
That's just how I'd figure it, sorry for not sounding more detailed...oh well..
till later...
