Re: 20V Coupe sounded like a turbo!?!?

[jstevens@kaiwan.com]

I just bought a 1990 90q20v for $10,500, and I love it.  I highly
recommend the 20v's.  I drove several coupes and 90's before
my purchase, and even those that were a bit abused were a 
blast to drive.   The car I got had 67k miles, so if you can get 
the coupe for $12.5k, I would go for it.  Hell, I would probably 
even pay $14.9k if I had to. :)

As far as the sound you mention, I too have noticed that the car sounds
somewhat like a turbo, but I haven't give it much thought.    

Btw, I saw a pearl white non-20v coupe quattro with 72k miles
advertised at $15.9k in Pasadena, California.
