Re: Highly Modified '87 5KCSTQ for Sale
Hmmm,
There were only two truly WICKED sounding 5ktq's at the historics
that I can think of. One was the White 5ktq I was in (my friend Adams)
which has a 3" Downpipe back Exhaust runnign through ONE Borla XR-1 racing
muffler. the other was not really a 5ktq but rather a 5k with a Corvette
LT-1 350/ 5.7l V8 in it. It was a dark Charcoal/black color. Cant
remember which. It also had the cool Quattro ring Exhuast tip.
Conversely my friends 5ktq has a 5" resonated tip. (Thats the SMALLEST
Size Resonated tip you can get for a 3" Exhaust) REALLY!!!
Anyhow, probably was one of these. Chad Clarks car has a 2.5"
exhast with a Dynomax that sounds pretty good but I woulnd't
Charachterize it as Wicked. But if it was on Sunday and he had his boost
problem fixed then he would be fast with like 2.2bar. And the V8 is Fast.
And well, my friends 5ktq is very fast but it is only 1.8bar (albeit much
faster than it was before the exhaust)
Anyhow, I dont think this car is any of those. The name sounds
familiar from the Stedirich (SP) suspension system for 5ktq's. It must be
his car. If so its probably a good car to buy.

Sounds like the car I followed out the back way from Laguna Seca (along
with
a very nice silver A4). It sounded WICKED and definitely moved. We were
moving at about 50, and he just took off like I was stopped. All of a
sudden
it was a 90+ mph 3 car caravan....lotsa fun. If this is the same car,
whomever buys it will not be disappointed.
