The turbocharged cars give you an earlier and harder push in the butt i.e. more low-end torque, but the thrust is not as instant and comes on more gradually as the turbo spools up. In a Porsche 911 Carrera with a naturally aspirated motor (pre-2017), especially when in Sport mode, the thing will just jerk your head back with even a light, feathery tap or blip of the throttle. So I'd say the Porsche has a more "instant," race car-like throttle response. I seriously can't imagine what the newest GT3 feels like to drive!
i echo these comments.... na porsches have electric immediate throttle response...i have yet to drive a car that can match them in this area...the throttle lag in my 2015 c7 was one the biggest disaapointments of that car...
