I've raced a Northstar Caddy in my sister's 190E before....he did pull away pretty easily, but not "has 200 more HP" easily.....I wasn't that impressed....in a distance race I'm sure the 190E (or most any MB gasser) could take it out at the higher speeds. MB's are able to put the torque to the ground, american cars suck at that.

Oh yeah, and the northstar caddy was probably 2-3 years old, but when he got on it, it shot blue exhaust and smelled terrible. Pretty horrid!
