I LOVE my turbo.  It transformed the car into something unreal. Before I had it I still loved the SVT, but it never instilled full confidence in me like say I wanted to pass someone, I would always think "Hmm, is there enough room between me and oncoming traffic to get past this sucker?". Now, I rarely have to even downshift and I just roll into the gas in before you know it you're in tripple digit speeds. I even had some assclown try and tailgate me on the the way back from the airport yesterday in an Impala SS. I just left it in 5th and rolled into the gas and left him like he was standing still. The look on peoples eyes when launch harder than the Space Shuttle Columbia off the line, is priceless. Of course racing from a stop is almost pointless to due the inability to put all the power to the ground, but nailing it in 2nd while on a roll just sets you back in your seat and hurtles you forward like a cannonball!

I can imagine the fun a turbo would give. I consider myself to have a good top end and my car will go from 4k to 7k rpms in literally a blink of an eye in first with traction. I've hit the rev limiter a few times because of this. I can't imagine having the top end power that I have from 3k rpms on. Sometimes I get on it on freeway onramps (who am I kidding, all the time). I'll go around the corner and leave it in second. Then I'll slowly accelerate untill 4k and nail it. Next thing you know your doing 75mph and your not even half way through the onramp. Oh yeah, putting it in third doing 60mph and flooring it will put you in your seat. If you can spare the cash for the turbo, get it now. Unfortunately, I can't so I went the cheap route. Sorry for the long rant, but I would like to see more turbo contours for me to drool over.
