Exactly! Plus you are probably near EPL who are very good at making wallets lighter! With that, just outrun the cops!

Not so fast there fella... This guy could have added turbos to a C4 using aftermarket parts - That's been done before so the particular C4 you were looking at may very well have been turbo.

JoeinLA is infamous around these parts
Get the Turbo. You don't *need* it, but, then again, you don't *need* a Porsche.

I think you'll find the power to be pretty addicting. I didn't think I *needed* a Turbo either, but after having mine for only 3 months, I'm totally amazed by how much I enjoy driving it. If I lost mine, I'd get another one!

Plus, in the current market, I'd think the price difference between the C4 and a Turbo wouldn't be too much (at least, if you're looking at these types of cars I'd assume the difference wouldn't really matter...).

I think its a personal choice the C4s is a very nice car and if you are more concerned about mpg that may be the right car for you otherwise the turbo you may have your foot in it most of the time

Well, I have a twin turbo'd C4S. It's a Naturally Aspirated Engine (stock) that I had tuned by Protomotive and has Garrett Turbo's and Tial DV's and Wastegates. See the sig....
