if you want power across a wide range, then turbo it.. once the inital lag is over then it'll pull hard and fast throught all the gears in an auto, and seeming as you don't ease off the throttle there will be no lag when the box changes gear, unlike a manual.. my mate has a Bentley Turbo-R, this car weighs (i think) bout 2800kg, yet it does 60 in less than 6 secs with an auto box, from 80mph up to 135mph it'll apparently out accelerate a porsche turbo (yeah, i don't really believe it either...) suppose the test would have 2 be more scientific.. but my point is that turbo lag won't matter in
