Exactly. Recently drove a 200 and 5ktq in caravan bto and back
from Monterey. Wonderful cars. You could cruise at 100 all day and still
get over 25mpg. Or very close to that. (Not that I would EVER go above
the speedlimit) And took the freeway curves very nicely. But in the real
twisties I'll take the 4kq anyday. I mean heck, even an A4 with Sport
package cant keep up with a 4kq with good shocks and equivelent tires. My
84' with stock springs, Boge TG, and 15" rubber was reeling in A4's in the
corners at the couple track events I've been to. (now witht he turbo I
can keep up on the straights as well. :-)

Sure, I've got $10 in my bank account. ;-)
I actually like the sunroof (how much does it really weigh). And on the
track you can tilt the back and open the center vent and really get some
airflow throught the cabin. Keeps it cooler. But you could drop an MC
into your 4kq...
