Calvin,

FWIW, 5K's are significantly lighter than your (and mine) 200Q's. 
Probably worth a few tenths to 60. My guess is that they are about
300 lbs lighter (nearly 10%), due to the new interior, Pro-conTen, 
the reinforce steering column for the airbag (or if MC1 anticipated
airbag of 10/88) and any other reinforcements needed for the
passive restraints required for the '89 model year. I've driven stock
5K's and compared to my '89 200Q, they feel much quicker on boost,
just even more laggy. Either way, neither car has the continous pull of
the 20VT, especially chipped in my S6 (thank's Mihnea!).
