I love turbocharged cars, they have something special.
My first car was a turbocharged one and it had some lag until the turbo started to work, but i loved the rush of acceleration when it punched.

N/A for me, either V8 or V12 would be nice. If it was a 6cyl then maybe I could use a turbo or s'charger.

7,000rpm N/A push rod 383ci stroked LS6 V8 -- easily delivers 540hp at the crank...

All apart for the "rally slag" turbo 4s on the WRC, I would always say naturally aspirated

Around 5 liters capacity and V10 N/A engine, 4 vale p/cylinder and high revving something like the one on the E60 M5 or the Carrera GT.

I disagree - with the turbo there are more mechanical parts that are added which increase the possibility of failure. A normally aspirated engine should be more reliable than a turbo version.
Personally I would like a powerful NA engine like the 550M.
Turbos are fun what with the kick they give you when they come on song. I love the power surge in my lil car....

well like I've said in the numerous other versions of this same topic I would go for a N/A American V8 nothing better although I wouldn't turn down a SC or TT V8 ala Cobra or LPE427TT

Although with a built N/A V8 or V10 you can have your cake and eat it.. 
Many folks I know, have N/A cars putting 480 to 530 horsepower to the rear wheels.. with 150hp wet shot of nitrous on hand to give you the "650rwhp+ (750crank hp) kick in the pants" when you feel like beating the guy next to you by 14 bus lengths instead of just by 6 car lengths,...
Then when you feel like going road racing/circuit driving - the N/A V8/V10 has enough power to be extremely usable with no nasty lag or other tendancies..

i seem to llike midsize engines (audi 2.7 liter 6, supra 6, large four bangers) with well thought out turbos
i like the sounds, the rush of power
but then again the scream of a 300hp all motor 1.8 liter 9000rpm honda motor is awesome too
so i guess the logical answer to a question like this is depends on the person, the situation, and the car/motor/powertrain
