Porsche GT cars are aimed at maximizing the connection between the driver and the car

this is why GT cars have NA engines and why I for one will always prefer NA engines
Axeschully hehe, some Porsche GT cars do have turbos in them. Not all, but street and race application models do have them. The lag can be tuned out but part of the reason the lag is there is for simplicity and fuel economy. On race applications, the turbo is almost always spooled. And there are other means to eliminate or significantly reduce the lag through anti lag or electric boost to tie throttle input demands/commands to get a turbo spooling before exhaust gasses can push it etc. getting a tune usually helps because the tuners don’t worry about the EPA so much.
