Dave:
A fine road machine for carrying 4 people, no question, a 98S4 will too,  
without the massive investment to get her there.  And she's no track star  
either.  Dave, not at all discounting the fact that miss piggy can be a  great date, 
but there's more and more choices.  A v70R with a chip will put  down 400hp 
with a 6speed and big brakes, and (optional sport leather pkg) with  an 
interior audi would envy.
 
I enjoy a spirited ride in Miss Piggy.  But my point remains, drive a  stage 
1 chip with all the other toys (big brakes, suspension, exhaust, and  
wheels/tires) IMO, she's better than dropping the big money into the engine,  turbos 
etc, because you got 90% of what makes her attractive.  I'd  encourage anyone 
to do the comparo back to back.
 
Hap, it's pounds per HP.  I've driven full coil over monster S cars at  the 
track many times.  She doesn't dance.  Put enough steroids in her,  she can 
catch a lot of machines from turn to turn.  If that's enjoyment,  fine.  I look 
at a triangulated front swaybar and think there's going to be  a lot of 
compromise in design to overcome.  And, as a seasoned motorsports  driver, the squirt 
turn to turn confuses me as to the purpose frankly.
 
The bottom line gents is that there are a lot of compromises to MP, that  
really opens up a lot of other more affairs of the heart in sheer performance  
roi, and allow you to keep your miss piggy for days a fine quattro is required  
for travel.

That being said... I think MP's  lovers just need to now what she's good at.  
She ain't no track  star.  But spend 10 or 12 hours with her some day... 
running open roads  with moderate bends... and she'll show you a really good time.
