There's a new article in the Left Angeles Times about a Mercedes tuner company in Germany called Brabus coming out with a new line of performance parts and services for Chryslers under the Startech name. According to the article, the full Startech treatment runs $50,000 (that's US dollars, for the board's UK and Euro readers :wink, which gets you a stroked engine at 3.8 liters, sport suspension, upgraded wheels and tires, bigger brakes, spoilers, body cladding, and black and blue leather upholstery. Individual upgrades will be available separately. They're supposed to unveil the results at the LA Auto Show on December 29, so those of us in or near SoCal can check it out. I plan on hitting the show after it opens to the public on January 2, and I'll try to find a digital camera to take with me.

Here's the link to the full article for anyone who wants to suffer through the Times' registration system to read it:

Crossfire gains some oomph, options with a little help from Mercedes' tuner friends
