That wasn't my point. My point was that Mercedes considered the SRT competition to their high performance AMG32 cars (god only knows why, their very different cars from a multitude of perspectives) , hence the lower HP rating, which was later proved to be identical to their Mercedes brothern. The NA engines were workhorses, not high-performance, high profit cars, they didn't want the competition. It's kind of like saying why would Ford care if the Mustang GT engine was used in a Lincoln ? Now swap that with the supercharged Cobra engine they used in 03/04 and people might be more inclined to buy the Cobra vs the Lincoln, even thought in reality their two very different cars. Anyhow, I think you get what I'm saying, it wasn't a knock at the NA cars at all.
