==========================
And don't forget the AWD turbo 5 cylinder Audi 4000 cars. With a
completely stock motor, and yes I do mean completely factory box-stock,
you can more than double the boost (with an intercooler of course) from
the turbo and have one hell of a mean AWD machine. They're not that
heavy either, about 3000 pounds.
Oh yeah, and for Richards' benefit: KumhoKumhoKumho ;^)
See you on course.
