Road going Quattro Sport performance

[Chris Wilson <chris@maximum-bhp.u-net.com>]

I was at a track day yesterday,where some ordinary (UR) Quattros were 
out,and a genuine 12,000 miler Quattro Sport SWB road car was 
present,too.The driver was competent,yet it performed little better than 
enthusiastically driven UR's.What was the alleged performance differences 
between these things?

Over a tightish course the UR's were doing circa 58/56 seconds flying 
laps,the Sport,around 55/56 seconds.

Not a meaningful result,with different drivers etcetera,but I was 
expecting a Sport to be pretty different to a UR.Were the road cars not 
really that different,just a base to homologate a short wheel base and 
other goodies?
