what do you guys think????

spec's
92 EB Mont Wagon Auto, EL Tickford Head, EDXR6 Wagon ECU + fuel reg..

94 ED XR6 5spd, EL BBM, ELXR6 Man ECU, EF Thermo's, Pacemacker 4499's, 2 1/2" M/B zorst, NL V8 Rear S/Bar, Koni's..

thing is a wagon is a much better daily driver and practical so id choose the sedan for the sports car.

put the turbo kit on the sedan then swap all the performane na gear onto the wagon

well I personally dont like the look of wagons, and a boosted xr6 would look and sound awesome. I'd go the sedan for sure.
