Altough I'm _very_ prone to be on your side regarding using an UrQ
instead of an UrS for the ultimate Q-car setup, I think that you should
go for the UrS anyway.
Why? Because the UrQ has all been done before, (A1,A2,SQ..) and the
ultimate sleeper just doesn't come in that package.. Even if the weight
distribution is 'bad' and the weight is.. well, a pig is a nice word
describing it, the mere thought of having a 500+hp monster in that big,
nice, comfy, body is just perfect! Imagine driving the kids to school
and in the same car make low 12's..
Well, u decide anyway, but I hope to see an UrS4 _really_ kick the butt
out of a neuRS6 one day! :o)) (Don't think that's impossible?)
Bjorn :o)
'92 S4 boring stock...
