all motor is expensive, boost is expensive. both have there advantages and disadvantages. its pretty much what YOU want out of your car. just do some research.

my opinion is boost

All motor power is like no other. This is a super biased topic. All personal opinion

all motor gets boring.


trust me. turbo will eventually, but not as fast as the all motor car.


all motor is probably more reliable but boost is more fun.

Uh yea.. you're not ever going to make 500whp out of a gsr NA.

Edit: And based on this post you're not going to make 500whp boosted either, i'd just DD and abort your mission.
