If you want to do some racing I'd advice you to get a 190e 16v with a bad engine.

Stock 606 turbo is 177hp. Maxing out the pump+vnt+intercooler+propane+water injection to suppress the propane from detonating might give you a 250hp light car.

You might have trouble putting that power down though. Under hard acceleration, I can brake the tires loose while changing from 1st to 2nd. In the wet I can brake the rear loose in 2nd just by mashing the throttle pedal.
