coupe thoughts...
Guys,
Saw a new Monte Carlo yesterday...
Saw a nice mid '80s 635 this afternoon...
Got me thinkin'... (it happens once in awhile:-)
Yeah, you guessed it, Wouldn't it be nice if Audi had built an '86-'88
5000 Coupe Quattro? You know, a notchback, like the WMB 6/8 series.
Maybe they could shorten the wheelbase about 5 inches, shave off a couple
hundred pounds, and give it the 20V engine, and a few more HP... That
would have been a fabulous car! Imagine a svelte 3100#, 230HP
(expandable to 300+) 2-door coupe, with AWD. Kinda sounds like a ponycar
killer doesn't it?
Now just how hard would it be to cut the chassis.....
:-)
