Turbolag can be an issue, whether or not the driveability of the car is impacted significantly is still not answered. An extremely laggy car would be difficult to drive around town wnd the driver would really need to know the car well in order to 'drive it well'. A car with a bit of turbolag wouldn't disappoint me to much if it had a high redline and the turbo had the balls to make the car a true kick in the pants.

If chipped and putting out 300+ hp, that wouldn't be too bad. I'll have to look up the weight of this car. If it is scoring 0-60 MPH in 5.7 sec - it must be a decent weight to hp ratio.
