I agree with you OMY-11S.
If you know what your doing, you can get any turbo 6 or 4 cyl to outrun a v8.

I have a n/a 6 but i would rather a inj. 5L for the sound and raw power they produce

I say forget about the 5L for now and go the turbo, later on when you decide to get another car you can then get a 5L if you want one, it'll be easier to decide.

Ok tell that to Victor Bray. Seen alot of pro comp 6's, and pro street as well.
Then again there was the Summit brothers in there Nissan 6. But not sure what class they did run in, but they did run against Victor.
Thats just drag racing.

A turbo 6 will be lighter then a v8 so you corner a bit better... All depends on your driving i guess
