Stock Evo IX has hit 12.8 in 1/4 mile and with bolt ons will put out more whp than our SRT with all the bolt-ons from a 2L four banger. Evo IX - tune, manual boost controller, turbo back exhaust = 350+ whp. I'm curious to see if the 2L mercedes has any tuning potential, I'm sure it would benefit from a 3" turbo back exhaust and possibly an intake, also we need to get a dyno baseline to see how it stacks up against our cars.
