Auto only: Turbo vs V6?

[Rayjoedef]

I4 sports w/ cup 2s 5-60 = 4.5 sec
V6 touring w/ Goodyears 5-60 = 4.7 sec

Additionally, the gap in acceleration between sports and touring accounts for 0.1-0.2 seconds.

The I4 (sports) has a torque advantage but has to overcome turbo lag, evidenced by the 1.1 sec gap between its 0-60 and 5-60 times, as opposed to 0.4 sec for the V6 (touring).

US car or UK?

@Adam Brouillard, there are multiple types of turbo lag. I'm referring to low end and boost threshold turbo lag. You are referring to transient turbo lag.

@Rayjoedef , us cars.

Yes, you are correct. By the definitions on that chart, I'm trying to explain that the I4 has "low-end" or "boost threshold" turbo lag, but does not have noticeable "high-end" or "transient" turbo lag.
