Sure, wank over that magnificent NA in your X3, but don't let it stop you from appreciating something better. This is a badass car with a badass engine and the power delivery on turbo Porsches has been smooth and predictable for many years. This isn't the 80s.

On the X3 and my Saab a turbo is great. Excellent low end torque for regular potting around, passing and freeway entry. if you know how to milk it then freeway mileage is excellent too.
But a sports car that will not be tracked? I want to hustle it a little, want some drama, want some noise and edgyness. IMHO peak street 911 was the 997 GTS, the 991.1 GTS is compelling but is more a trim exercise than an actual different swing at a middling model. 400 or so NA HP, rev happy ..... i'd take that over 470HP of turbo charged brilliance with a mountain of low end torque any day for a car i am hustling on the street.
