I've all so got a 91 200 20vt... not an Avant... a Sedan. The thing is a hoot to drive! Specially if your getting 220HP to the wheels & 311 ft lbs of Torque to the wheels!

As far as the subject header that's gotten re-routed.....

... I've all ways loved the look of the A6 4.2 cars! I have all ways said if I ever were to sell my Blk 5sp I'd get one (A6 4.2) & have a 6sp dropped into it.
 As of late I've seen the A6 4.2 cars drop significantly & that is a scarry thing. But,
the whole thing would be wheather or not I could get the price that I would want for my 5sp. 

 & I have two storage spaces for all the V8 parts I have.
