The turbos wouldn't make you corner slower really, so the car with more power AND traction should win all the way around. That's assuming equal handling. The turbo car without traction would be slower out of the corners which gives the edge to the other car.

The controller I have is easy to set up, but the traction control deal is supposed very easy to set up also. It would need wheel sensors, but my friend claims it is easy to do. I won't be trying it unless I'm unhappy with the computerized boost controller.

I did drive both cars, but the Mule was pre-turbo, so it was giving up 100 HP to the Thrasher or so. It handled every bit as well as the Thrasher but was no match for speed. The Thrasher, as you noted, is a very well balanced car that would be fairly easy to drive fast.

You'll have to ask Charley his view of the Mule now; with the boost turned down as it is now to app. 700-750 HP I think it moves pretty well without getting you into trouble.

The yellow car was a handful at 15 psi of boost. The dyno video and driving video was on only 7 cylinders, there was a plug wire off when Charley was doing those videos. On 8 cylinders it was a thrill but not the fastest way around the track. My point was to build 1000 HP on 91 without intercooling and still be able to drive it and retain decent mileage. It actually got 19 mpg on the freeway at a 75-80 mph cruise.
