Yikes!  The supercharged four beats out the VR6?  I wouldn't have 
predicted that.  

BTW how do you like your 4Kcsq?  There are two in my area, an 87 and 
an 86.  They're both red.  The 87 has a few more miles (112k vs. 
87k for the 86), but the 86 has been repainted (could tell from 
slight overspray on some of the trim). Possible accident?  Test drove 
the 86: car ran nicely, a/c blew cold (FL you know) but at about 
65mph the wheel started shaking.  Could this be something as simple 
as a wheel out of balance or a bad alignment or could it be from 
accident damage?  Car ran fine apart from that.  Asking $3200 for 
that one, about $4200 for the 87.

I would be using it as a second car as I am happy with my 
Coupe.
