Supposedly, the 4kq is the most "tossable" of the Audis.  However, I 
think you would probably still be happy with the 90Q.  A bit heavier, 
but a bit more power (mostly on the top end with that 20v, but, hey, 
wind it out...).

If you do it up with a nice setup like your 4kq, you should still be 
able to have plenty of fun.
