Seriously.
I want to know honestly what you TT owners think of NA-T's. I'm talking about clean NA-T's such as
Kirk's:
NinetyFiveNA's:
kdirty130's:

I'm not just talking about NA-T's with side intake manifolds, it's just those first three have extremely clean cars. But in all honesty, it seems like when I have talked to TT owners, or even just noticing on the board, all of us NA-T owners just aren't as good as all of the factory turbo guys.
I mean, I have invested a lot of time, probably not as much money, and gotten no where near as much power as the APU people, but seriously, it's still a MKIV Supra and I'm slowly making it what I want. Granted it's no 700rwhp beast, but a lot of us NA-T owners have put the same effort into making our cars what we want. Sure it didn't start out turbo, but seriously, I think a few of the owners I have talked to were down right ass holes about it. One previous TT owner went as far as telling me I "didn't deserve my car because I don't have enough money to give it what it NEEDS (GTE swap)." Seriously, what bullshit is that? How do they know what my car needs? Who are they to tell me whether or not my income determines whether or not I deserve my car? I'm 18, almost 19, I openly admit I don't deserve my car, I am fortunate to have it, and even though it started out NA, maybe that's what gives me the feeling of equality.
I just think some TT owners go a little over the top with trashing the NA because they couldn't fork out $30k+ from the beginning. I mean come on, this is supposed to be about a passion for the car and heritage, not about who has the biggest balls because they make the most money.
