Bzzzztttttt.... Good try Eliot, But, It was a 5KTQ Chassis "Tub" with a 
Kevlar front clip, Aluminum Cage, 10 Valve All Aluminium Engine,  The all 
wheel drive was unchanged except for the changing of the center diff 
depending on the track.  Sometimes the car ran with No center diff, 
sometimes it was a locker, and sometimes it was a torsen, Torque split 
was unchanged, Huge turbo, Huge Intercooler, Huge Brakes etc, etc.  At 
the end of the '88 season Audi had a great Promotional package availble 
at the dealer for the asking on this incredible car.


Later!
