Whoa....I beg to differ with this.  A 91 200 20v is basially the same body as 
the 5k and with a Chip you can easily get it to 300.  And the 20v is heavier 
than the 5k too.  The 5k has more of a chance to beat out a M3 than the A4 
does, IMO.  Believe it or not the A4 has about the same weight as the A4 
does.  A4 with/o quattro is  3130 lbs.  5k with quattro is 3200lb.  So weight 
has nothing to do with it.  Its the engine. 
Cornering is a different story though.  A4 hands down...
