The current MCT shifts in 100 milliseconds or less. The next generation MCT is supposed to be drastically improved (new software).

Plus, there are existing tunes out there right now for the W204 that significantly enhance the various transmission programs.

People routinely get well over 500+ horsepower from the W204 with a mere software tune. With bolt-ons, even more power. I expect the W205 to be very tuner friendly also. After all, the next C63 will share its motor with the AMG GT (much like the W204 shared its motor with the SLS).
