Regarding "phenom" - FWIW, as a result of two occasions forming an Audi-only 
convoy with a 1.8T and my 91 200q, the 1.8T owner was going to ask his wife for 
a chip for Xmas - haven't had a chance to ask him if he got it yet.

BTW, isn't Christian's FWD and thus lighter than a q? Partial explanation for 
phenom, I guess.
