The Kappa has the aerodynamics of a brick or similar to a Scion xB. Mine had the base 2.4l with Hahn Racecraft turbo making 300 whp on 15 psi. Bill Hahn had a trap speed of 110 mph in the 1/4 mile close to a stock CTS-V's 108-109 mph.
The new CLA AMG is hitting the quarter mile at 108 mph with 350 horsepower and much less torque.
My old stg lll Nordic 9-5 Aero ran with an M5 back in 2000 from 100-130 mph. M5's trap at about 108 mph. My Verano with Trifecta, down pipe, and 3" intake to turbo and with 6-speed should be as quick as the Nordic 9-5 but with better gearing. Sixth gear is 70 mph @ 2000 rpm. So the aero is the only thing limiting top speed where the 9-5 might do 155 mph at peak horsepwer rpms.
