BMW 330i Euro 272HP 2008+;
So the N20 has higher emissions than both NA Mercedes 3.5L 306HP and BMWs 'own 3.0L.
A simple Camry V6 3.5L 268HP 2012 has better EPA fuel cost than both Audi 2.0T 211HP FWD and Mercedes C250 204HP . If it had direct injection and the ZF 8-sp. it would match the fuel costs of a N20.

you cant compare a camry to the audi. because they are made with different purposes. different weight, gear ratios, etc etc.
but people dont recognize how fast hp and tq peaks are reached with turbos.
N/a motors make their hp near Redline, or close. and their torque range should be in the mid rpms. Unlike turbo motors where (in 335 case) make its torque from 1400+Rpm and hp peaks around 5-5.5k RPM.
and these cars are not meant to be track cars so who cares about N/A being better at a track. There are plenty of turbo cars that do just as well on the track as N/A.
i feel like N/A people are only afraid of turbo lag, but times have changed and turbo lag is very minimal. If your worried about that just get anti-lag and have full boost all the time lmao
