You aware of what an anti-lag system is? It basically keeps your turbos spooled even if you are off throttle... you would really say no to that in a GTR?

Thank you for informing me about something that I knew about for the years that I had an Evo.

You talk about wanting to see them copy antilag as if its some kind of magic that GM doesn't know how to use.

And not to mention, they don't use turbos (shy of the Cobalt SS) so why bring up anti lag of all things?

I think you answered your own question.

I'm not exactly sure, but I think the point was to say that if GM is going to copy Nissan then Nissan should just go with an idea that GM can't copy with their N/A v8.

LOL that was the whole point of it man... the fact that chevy uses an NA setup... hence why they couldnt copy it if nissan did it lol... jeez.. you need some humor in your life... and since when did Evos have antilag? And why would a GTR w/ antilag be bad?

Did I say the Evo had antilag? No. But an Evo has a turbo therefore antilag is a widely used thing (for those that enjoy killing their turbos sooner)

And do point out where I said a GTR with antilag would be bad?
