I did not feel like I wanted a turbo motor nor did I feel like I wanted a 13 second quarter mile car. If I have the power, sooner or later I will use it on a city street. A 15 second (really high 14) car is fast enough for me. I like the fact I have to shift properly to get maximum performance.
The thing 135 drivers have to get over is that not everybody wants a faster car with a turbo motor. It is not necessarily that they couldn't buy one, in my case it was not what I wanted. I'll probably have to buy a turbo car someday but I didn't have to or want to this time.

Makes you wonder if Boxster owners get this kind of grief from 911 owners...
