I think the urQ- definitely. First quattro, proven in competition.
Then the 5ktq/200tq (esp 91 as the height of the 44 development)
Then any S car.

And I like to think that the 5k will, to a lesser extent. Heck, a '65
Mustang 6-cyl w/3-speed is still a 65 Stang. It just commands a lower
premium than a full-house GT 289. But then again, I own a 5kt and am very
biased. Looks just like the soon-to-be-vaunted tq;)

87 5000cs Turbo- future classic???
