2years ago I test drove the 408THP when it was introduced. I actually was keen on the NA,but that day only THP test car was available. Ok I thought no harm in testing it. That test run completely changed my opinion. Changed my mind to the THP for following reasons:
Very precise and accurate feedback from the steering. This is not my 1st car, the feedback is at another level compared to even other conti's I've owned previously.
Turbo power is simply addictive. Effortless and smooth
Silky smooth 6spd gb.
$20K extra( price diff between NA & THP ) is a steel for what you get.
My rough estimate to configure a 4spd NA to 6spd turbo and additional safety features which comes on the car is $70K min.
IMO, if you can afford the extra $20K,get the THP.
Btw,bro sbd has upgraded to 508 SW. He is selling his 408t. The car is very low mileage and very good shape. Same batch as mine and we have not had a single problem.
Exactly the same reason why if I able to turn back time I would choose turbo instead of NA..
But don't get me wrong. I love my lion so much..

out of curiosity, would you be kind enough to enlighten the reason or reasons for that matter, of why you would have chosen a 408T over 408NA shall you have the chance of turning back the time?
