stock 4000Q faster than A4?

Boy - this one is gonna get me crucified...

So at Limerock, a bunch (about 20) of A4's were in my run group.  I have an 86
4000CS Quattro.  The engine is stock.  I did the suspension, ungraded the
brakes (stainless lines, brembo rotors, metal master pads....) and augmented
the exhaust with the Stebro stainless system.  And going out, me and my little
115 hp (or so) were able to outdrive nearly all the A4's in my group.
Including 30v's.  
(This is the explanation for my comments about A4's being slow....) 
None of the cars in my group passed me.  Needless to say, it was a large
confidence boost as to justification for not buying a new car.  Not that A4's
aren't nice (I think they're awesome) but for about 1/4 the price, I enjoy my
car quite nicely.  Thank you for this little brag session.  I'm sure that
every A4 driver will be sending me hate mail soon.  :-)  Happy motoring...
