don't let the low 205 number get you down. :-) tune it up and it will be one of the most fun cars you have ever driven and will beat most cars on the road.

Hi Terrence, welcome to the C4 world! Do you have any pictures of your '84 for us?

Except on some nice twisties, I'm not sure my '84 would beat most cars on the road....but is always brings a smile to my face anytime I am behind the wheel.

While the 205 is low by today's standards it was the top of the line in 1984 American production vehicles.

I have to agree! I would much rather drive my stock 4+3 '84 than my supercharged A4 '00 when a few of us get together to run thru some of the SoCal canyons.

The best numbers that our early C4s produce are the Torque numbers and that is the exhilaration factor when you drive our cars!
