Have you talked to Mark Scroggs to see what he thinks about the turbo car? I don't think he's exactly been dominant in it, and he's Mark. I feel like he could do well in a car that wasn't really the best. Not saying that's the case with the turbo Camaro but you should probably ask him.

There is something to be said for saving twenty grand when it comes to marital bliss and being able to spend some of that money to travel to events, pay for hotel rooms and meals out, buy tires, a sway bar, shocks, etc. And I have to imagine the consumables will be cheaper on the turbo four car than on the V8 car. And if you're going to daily drive it, the turbo four has to get better fuel economy and be cheaper to insure...?

Then again, V8 noises. And maybe if you buy the V8 version you can convince a certain V8 loving, on-and-off-autocross-loving co-driver to join you. Which, y'know, saves money. Sorta.

If he can see out of the thing.
