I know he said without a turbo but that maybe the better route after assuming how much hes going to spend making a N/A 280whp. I was trying to give a more rational answer than selling his car and buying a entirely different one. In that case i'd just tell him to sale it and get a AMG C32 for $8-12k, which has 350hp and runs low 12s with bolt ons, but that really wouldn't help his situation.
