Half tongue-in-cheek and half serious. I owned a 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. That car had plenty of power when on boost, but it had a narrow power band where it produced that boost. I ordered it with a manual transmission to keep the engine RPM where it would produce boost, and as a result never lacked power in the mountains out West regardless of altitude and temperature. However, when I didn't pay attention, the lag would show itself. My 2000 9-3 had very little turbo lag. My 9-5 Aero has more than the 9-3 due to the larger diameter turbo, but significantly less lag compared to my old Tbird. BTW, I enjoyed all of my turbos and drove them for many fun loving miles.
