settling on '88 5kcstq instead of '91 200 or V8?

[Lawrence C Leung]

IMHO, though probably a tough comparison, (4KQ to 200Q) I find the torsen
more transparent and easier to deal with (no decision making) than the
4KQ. Not saying it really was much of an issue on the 4KQ anyway,
however. I haven't really tracked either car (have (had?) the GTi for
that) other than a couple of autocrosses with the 200 when the GTi was
down supporting a fallen maple, so I haven't ever been bitten by the
spider.....
