raw hp to raw hp the turbo car might make more actual individual hp than the n/a. but to compare the engines fairly u have to look at percentage. the n/a might make 5-10% more as to where a turbo would maybe only maybe a percent or 2 more. though the turbos 2% would likely be higher than 10% of what the n/a motor makes.

the point im trying to make is n/a cars will fair far better under perfect conditions, as to where there are usually many other variables that effect {1/4 mile performance} the turbo car.

u can spare 10 hp from a 500hp motor and never miss it. you gain or lose 10hp from an n/a car and that could make or break your whole day.
