Certainly don't want to start a fire here, but wondering if you think that the 79-84, or the 85 + 32V US cars will be more valuable. I prefer the 32V cars, and they seem to have a higher purchase price in general than the 16V versions, but will that change in 10-20 years? Which series (or years) will be more/most collectible?

Also, a side question. Although the Euro models are rated at 300 HP, they don't seem to be ANY faster than the lower output US models - 16V or 32V. In fact, the performance/road test data I've seen isn't very impressive for such high output (for that time period). Is this because of different horsepower measurement techniques? SAE Gross (BHP) vs. Net, etc... This happened in the US with domestic cars - mechanically identical cars in 1971/72 having a lower horsepower rating than a 1969/70 model, for example.
