i have both an 89 GTU and 89 TII. neither car has ever let me down but it is much more fun to drive the TII if i have the option the TII gets driven 
N/A's are great cars but TII's have so much more going for them speedwise. N/A's are generally more reliable. all depends how fast you want to go

I have both, so I will put my take on it.
Both are fun to drive and very similar until you talk about horsepower. That is where the turbo is the best choice.
My N/A is realible as hell.
260k+ miles and still running on original factory engine/transmission (never rebuilt) and still runs strong.
My TII is getting a rebuilt right now and it only has 80k miles on the chassis. But once I get it running and with all the mods it is going to be a new beast.
Personally my GXL is too old and I don't throw any money at it, except for gasoline. The TII is getting all my money for now. Making it look nice and go fast.
Actually a base N/A(with no power options) could easily take a TII in an auto-X with the same suspension mods.
If you want to get many miles with no headaches the N/A is the choice again.
If you want all out acceleration the TII is the way to go.
they both have there ups and downs, it is just a matter of taste.

i voted for the T2 cuz i like them more than N/A RX-7s. but i dont dislike the N/A cars, i wouldnt mind having a convertable 7. i just think the T2 is the better car. i didnt buy an RX-7 to have a reliable car, or an efficient car, or even a fun car. i bought an RX-7 to have a PERFORMANCE car, and the T2 is just way ahead of any N/A in the performamce category. and there is no arguing with that.

Make up your own mind. Who cares what others think. People try and convence themselves that an NA is better than a turbo because they didn't buy one and now they want one. I didn't spend the extra money or spend the time to find a turbo when I bought my Rx-7 which is why I have a slow joe 87 gxl. The turbo is the better car, it has all the options and better performance, isn't that what you want out of a car? NA is good for cruisin around everyday, because a turbo shortens an engine's lifespan. Why do tards keep posting stuff like this?

I own a n/a.An '89GTUs to be exact but I'd still have to say a TII.I want more power and I'm just not going to get it with my car.I've run out of things to do short of tearing the motor down but a street port isn't going to give me the power I want.That's why I hope to someday do a TII conversion on my car or fix the turbo shell I have but it would be cheaper to just do the conversion.So as much as I love my car I have to say TII ,cause my car with another 50 to 100hp(which I could easily get after the conversion)would be awesome.

The TII definitely scores higher on the boards simply because of it's ease of power upgrades and real killer potential. I myself have an NA and I love it, far more fun to drive than my 12 second GVR4 but after my first ride in a normally tuned (intake, exhaust, F-Con) TII I was hooked!! So now I'm Converting to a turbo in the summer with an NA motor built with turbo II oiling system and low compression rotors

My two categories:
NA - difficult to make go fast
T2 - easy to make go fast

LOL. How nice of you to take time to comment in my "ridiculos" poll. You do know you don't have to post in the threads you disagree with? Some people kill me!
Do you really think I posted this because i was unsure of which I preferred?? I posted this so people could state their views on it, if you dont like it...who gives a ****? not me.

I own a 88 TII and a 89 GTU. they are both rx7s and both fun to drive, but come on would you get a cobra or v6 mustang, wrx or 2.5RS? I am the kind of person that buys the best that I can afford, so I go with a turbo II
