    Hi,
    
    I've recently bought an  AUDI Coup� GT  '84.     Half a Quattro ;-)
    
    It seems to be a quite nice car, almost a _real_ sportscar.
    It has the famous 5 cylinder engine (130 hp) with lots of torque,
    it's injected, but doesn't have any fancies like 4 valves per cylinder
    or anything like that. 
    
    Performance is OK, 0-100 km/h in 8.7 seconds according to the factory,
    but road handling is more impressive than that ... I've tested it
    on some snowy roads, and it goes great through the curves !
    
    Top speed is about 200 km/h according to factory.
    
    Are there any more AUDI Coup� / Quattro owners tuned in ?
    What are Your impressions, and experience of this car ?

450.17INFO ON OLD COUPE ?VLOMFG::VANDERDEUREThe Fool on the HillFri Oct 26 1990 16:4812
    I'm seriously considering the purchase of a Coupe GT (old chassis), I've 
    got a couple of questions for the owners :
    
    1/ The old coupe looks bigger/more space than the new one, is it actually ?
    
    2/ The 2.2 ltrs /136 BHP type sounds like the nicest one according to
    previous notes, the question is that I am very much after long 5th gears, 
    like the ones featured on AUDI 100's (approx 3000 RPM at 140 Km/h), does 
    the coupe feature the same type of gearbox or rather the sporty/short type ?
    
    Thanks for your info,
    Pierre

Folks,
      I have looked through the audi notes but they dont seem to have 
      the info I am after...


I am thinking of buying an 86 C plate 2.0 gt, (which has a service history,
is well priced, genuine, and very clean), but before I decide I would like to 
know what some of the parts would cost, eg for an exhaust, alternator, shockers
etc.

I have had an insurance quote, and it isn't really too bad, although the 1.8 is 
150 pounds cheaper.

Can anyone supply any info, and which of the 2 cars is the better ??

Thanks,


Warren
