But all is not lost, a healthy battle between carmakers is what we all should support. If you think about it, the European's are almost all running with the turbo engines.
Pagani Huayra = Turbo
Ferrari California = Turbo
458's successor will be a turbo
M3/M4 = turbo
M5/M6 = Turbo
C63 = Turbo
E63 = Turbo
Audi = Turbo,
Even the base 911 is going to get a turbo soon.

I always root for the underdog and in this case the American's are putting on an admirable fight for our hard earned money. Let's hope this debate at least shows that the performance buyer are looking for visceral exhilaration.
Please keep sports cars mechanically analog!
not to mention all the cars which are already turbo. like the GTR.

I like when we have a choice to pick turbo or N/A. Kind of sad that everyone you buy now will have to be downsized with two turbos. unless you buy American.
