Saw an on-line article a few weeks back that discussed the "Best Q-Ships" out there, and the late 80s/early 90s 740 Turbo Wagon was featured. I had seen the term in Car and Drier/Road & Track before, but didn't really know what it meant.

Herer's the definition I found:

The term originally was used to identify decoy ships used to lure German submarines into traps during WWII. Disquised as slow plodding merchant or cargo ships, they were instead powerful, fast ships able to escape while luring the German patrol subs into ambushes by Allied naval forces.

The term Q-ship (or "Q-car") has been used to describe cars that have much higher than average performance (often through extensive modification) but look like conventional, uninteresting family transport. As well as the ships, this term may also be reinforced from the United Kingdom's system of registration plate numbering - the first symbol on a British plate is a letter code for the year of manufacture, but for vehicles of uncertain or mixed age, a plate beginning with "Q" is used.

Here's the link to the article recognizing the strenght of our Bricks!!
