    THe 4k turbo Quattro is a couple hundred pounds lighter.  Other than
tire size and maybe larger brakes and 5-bolt (which can be fixed on the
4kq but adds a "little" weight) the advantage goes to 4kq.  4.11 gears
on some of them too (better on the track and ultimately quicker except
in top speed)    Of course for Super High Hp Apps I think I would take
the UR-Q as the weight doesn't matter much at 300+ hp and you can fit
much bigger tires with with 84 or 85 or 83 with some mods.
