You may call the sound a F-40 a symphony, I'll take the sound of a 458 or F12 anyday over the F-40, and the sound of a GT3 anyday over a 911 turbo.

Turbo lag is less today than it was in the early days of turbo engines, but it is still quite noticeable to the precision driver. Maybe you just do milk runs?????

Even, outside of the track, there is no turbo car, not even modern performance cars where turbo lag is not noticeable compared to the immediate and linear power delivery of a naturally aspirated performance car. If driving leisurely on a freeway and you need to shoot the gap or be stuck behind twenty slow cars, that one second of turbo lag may cause you to miss your chance.

If driving on a regular road and you suddenly need to “punch it” to avoid an accident, that one second of turbo lag may very well cause an accident.

I will agree that performance cars with turbo engines can performs well on the track, but why is that? Because their turbos are constantly spooled up on a track.

Otherwise, turbo lag will be present and annoying in every turbo car, and that delay in power delivery takes away from the enjoyment of motoring and makes turbo cars less safe to drive.
