Old. They just have more character to me. When a VTEC didn’t have a turbo, u just had to put ur foot to the firewall and extract all those revs and power. The times when your car had a turbo but the term turbo lag was still used, yea it wasn’t good but that was the character, trying to keep the revs and boost up was the enjoyed challenge. Having to find the peaks and the lows of the engine. The new cars are technically better in every sense , but a R35 GTR will never have the character and you will not find the same involvement and joy from overcoming the shortfalls as you would in say a Kenmeri or RS Turbo
