I routinely use a souped up 190E EVO 2 in Gran Turismo; probably the closest I'll ever get to owning one
Some did, I think those were the DTM cars.

The rally version which the Evo's were based off of used a pumped Cosworth 4 cylinder that revved to the sky.

I forget the exact numbers but MB had to make so many to satisfy the racing rules. So they had the 190E with the Cosworth 2.5 16 valve which you can get in this country, had SLS on all 4 corners too, really cool car. Than they had the Evo 1, 2, and 3 which is a monster and I'm pretty sure getting one in this country would be $$$$$$. Mercedes Enthusiast did a really good feature on them a few years back.

Those Judd V8 powered cars were cool, I think the redline was over 10,000 rpm. It also looks about low enough for Justin's tastes with a nice expensive spoiler that will get ripped off by the most sedate speed bump.
