That's a deal-breaker right there. Well, that and the price. :)

Why deal with turbo lag, engine parts that glow bright orange after
you drive your car and melt if you don't cool them down properly when
you can just get a larger NA engine?

Ha! That means the car NEEDS regular tuning in order to remain
streetable. What happens after the warranty runs out? Do I need to
hire my own full-time personal mechanic? No, thanks - just give me a
Z-06. :)
