Unfortunately, Ned didn't have a chance to install his new suspension kit
(from a fellow list member) so he left it parked for most of the day.  To
call it a Beast is probably an understatement..

I had a chance to talk with Ned about the mods to the wagon---before the
swap, that car already put out about 320 hp or so (manifold, turbo +
computer);  with the computer from Ned's car, it was up around 340 or
so--either way, more than enough to have some fun :)  so yes, an extra 100+
over stock, but not that much over where he was before.  Joe Goecke also
drove that '91 200qw and commented that it *can* get loose at the back end.  

as you said, wow!  what a day.
