Who Makes (Made) The Best Factory Turbo Car?

[Vacationtime247]

Who do you believe makes or made the best factory turbo car? Toyota with the Supra? Buick with the Grand National? Volvo? Subaru with the WRX? Dodge with the Daytona? I know this is a Supra Forum, but there are other factory turbo cars as well.

Partial to the Supra as it's an amazing all around car (that and it's mine), but I respect anything fast and well done... especially boosted.

we're all a little biased here...

 

[slowpra na-t]

Grand National for sure!!!!!!!!

 

[Slow66]

Nothing to do with Supra Racing/Dyno. Moved to more appropriate forum.

But otherwise, I think Porsche makes the best factory turbo cars.

 

[suprarx7nut]

+1 for Porsche.

Variable impeller angle is simply amazing.

Through the years, almost all of the major turbo breakthroughs came from Porsche

ok....im gonna put the flame suit on.....mk4 supra for obvious reasons....but the evo 8 and 9s 4g63

Nissan BNR32,33,34

Too many variables for me.

I do like that the R35 has included features that no other factory turbocharged car has had. LC and state of the art data logging comes to mind.

I vote for the Ferrari F40 if you consider it a "factory" car.

If not that then I say Porsche. Prolly the new 997. They are a sequential kkk stup. Very sick!

F40 is a good choice. I also really like the 288 GTO. Best factory turbo really isn't limited enough. You can't even begin to compare a Supra/GNX/300ZX to a Bugatti Veyron or Jaguar XJ220.

I personally would pick the Rossion Q1/Noble M400.

 

[Doward]

Car?

Lotus Esprit Turbo, imho.

For the average Joe?

Dodge Daytona Shelby Turbo III with Lotus 16v head + variable nozzle turbo.

Best turbocharged manufacturer?

Caterpillar, imho.

Doward, I would agree with how awesome the Esprit is! I love that car!! Just not too fond of the motor and trans, but if that was different then it would get my top vote.

I like the idea of the variable geometry turbos but doesn't seem very tested. Corky Bell is a pretty smart dude but I've seen way more impressive setups with fixed turbos. Google Bob Norwood sometime.

Swaq brings up a couple good points though. The Noble derived cars are awesome! I have a buddy in Glenwood Springs that let me tool around in a M400 and wowsers! Also Bugatti is a great example of awesome turbo cars. The EB110 was a sick car and the Veyron is pretty intense too.

 

[Poodles]

I agree with too many variables.

Most power?
Best in the 1/4?
Best looking?
Most reliable?
Ability to push more power?

I could make a list a mile long...

A Porsche 964 turbo. The last yr of them in 94-95.

Watch bad boys if you don't know.

I agree with you there! Great way to classify it too.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

I agree with too many variables.

Most power? For the money? mk4 supra
Best in the 1/4? f40
Best looking? f40
Most reliable? turbo diesel golf
Ability to push more power? f40

I could make a list a mile long...
