Turbo lovers, hear me out for a moment.
There are quite a large number of "eco boosted" cars available now. Mustangs, Fusions, and so on. The car is of course turbo charged to make high power with a relatively smaller engine. Better fuel economy is the result, when compared with a higher displacement NA engine of the same relative power.
That said, I'm kind of toying with the idea of taking an ecoboost car and turning it into a hoon machine. Can it be done? Will an ecoboost Fusion or Mustang accept larger turbos?
And does any other manufacturer do something similar?

Pretty much every automaker manufactures turbocharged engines these days. I can't for my life think of a company that doesn't. People are already doing that with the turbo I4 Mustang.

Idk but I just wanted to post this pic.

Chevy is the most successful NASCAR brand, let's face it that's more important than Le Mans.

Cars that doesn't look strikingly cool but every monstrosity lies under the hood.
For example; this McLaren MP4-12C.
Doesn't look much handsome as the others in the same segment but is seriously fast and technologically advanced.

It's just an Audi wagon, but with Quattro AWD and a Lamborghini-derived V10 under the hood and two turbos for good measure.

So i'm thinking of buying a new car, went to the second hand dealership today and saw this, i'm sure it's an upgrade since i currently drive a yaris (don't judge too hard, i'm 18) So yeah, if any one can drop any wisdom on it that would be great, also specs and model would be appreciated.

If you weren't living in that shithole you could buy a big V8 and afford not only fuel, but insurance too.

There aren't any tracks in San Diego and Willow Springs is 3 hours away and incredibly overpriced.

Nearest track is a 2 and a half hour drive and requires proof of full track insurance, even just for track days

It just seems too concocted for it to literally die on the last lap.
Is it possible it was sabotaged? EMP?
Don't like the TT? Piss off what's wrong with you.
