From a technical perspective, the transmission is many variants use zf 5/6-speed automatics (where fitted); manuals also exist. at this torque level, transmission and driveline servicing history becomes especially important..
Considerations: Naturally aspirated engine: gains are usually limited; results vary widely.. High tuned torque: check transmission torque capacity and service history.
