Mercedes-Benz tuners compared with other makes
Lingenfelter wants $50k for a 750hp modication on a Corvette ZO6... for something of equal performance in the Mercedes-Benz tuning world, it would put you well over $100-150k, hell, that probably wouldn't even get you anywhere near 750hp!
Other than the exotic cars, it seems as though Mercedes-Benz vehicles pack a staggering price for extra performance, more so than any other company.

Have to agree with you on that one. To have your Benz tuned by a tuner compared to chevy or ford you can expect to pay double or even triple and not get the big numbers performace wise as you would with North American cars.
