91 (listed top speeds.) >>

Thanks for the clarification-I thought it was around 135 for the ur-q. The
"aerodynamic brick wall" I referenced was a phrase from an article I read
years ago when the 80/90 series debuted (I think in Autoweek). The comment
was that once this speed is achieved, that it takes massive hp to go much
beyond it. Also, I believe the '91 quattro Coupe was speed governed to 135 as
the 80/90q with the NA 2.3 I5 (130hp) goes 130 mph.
