    "Jeff they both have the 2.22"

    Correct. And here we go again! The 4000Quattro has a JT engine, isted in ETKA @121hp (factory/current spec) whereas Bently (old/non-factory) spec is 115 @5500.

    The Coupe GT has a different engine code-KX @120hp (ETKA/mfgr) vs 110 in Bently.

    [The Bentley manuals are NOT factory. They are not "factory" shop manuals. (there is a problem in the rules regarding workshop manuals/what is real/true-for most cars factory no longer exist in print and what is, isn't official mfgr info or the final word) When I got my factory 142 Volvo manual from Volvo NA in 1984, it was one of two they had; they kept the last one for archiving. Audi went to repair/tech information on microfilm over 30 years ago, and now on DVD or online. The requirement to carry a factory manual is nearly impossible to comply with. The issue of Audi HP, however, illustrates the problem of relying on unofficial info]

    Other considerations?: better weight distribution, MUCH better brakes, real (upper/lower dbl "wishbone" type) rear suspension, better aereo?
    And, of course, the best 4wd system around.

    And the 80/90Q-they have the 2.3L NG hi comp/133hp engine like the 87 "SuperCoupe"
