ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

Because of the motor being a 4lt 6, it is nothing like a 4cyl turbo that suffers lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more then say a stock EL XR8 so to me I find them really quite good off boost. If you think of it in terms of when you are on boost you have all this power then off boost you are obviously going to think that you don't have as much go as you would like. Personally I love this car it feels faster then my slightly modded EL XR8 was even when off boost and when on boost bloody hell it is fast! It is great because just driving it normally around town you wouldn't know that you have a turboed car they just feel normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.
