Two of my friends in Utah..playing in the snow...

The yellow one has an exhaust by pass..that bypasses the muffler altogether... This was filmed in the circle that another one of my friends lives in...near Deer Valley/Park City UT

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bGLx-4h6yWo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bGLx-4h6yWo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

If the embedding doesnt work...

there you go... you just embed the vid identifier from the youtube URL, not the full html (the board's parser adds that stuff in for you, and won't parse html in a post)

so.. crank the wheel, hit the gas? that's fun... ? make sure it doesn't blow out a power steering pump

Its such a weird feeling for an Audi owner to be able to do that...

All wheel drive...normally pushes in that scenario..getting the back to slide out is NOT an Audi trait..EXCEPT for in the RS4 with the rear bias.

Sorry if this series of posts is coming across as retarded.. I am genuinely interested in the tech behind why that RS4 vid is demonstrating AWD awesomeness

Here is a vid of a stock Subaru WRX (viscous coupling center diff (50:50 torque split), open front diff, helical lsd rear diff) that appears to be doing the exact same thing as the RS4

I don't get the difference, could you please fill me in

I am not saying it has AWD awesomeness...I was just pointing out that because the RS4 has power going 40% to the front wheels..and 60% to the rear wheels...it could do that. Other audis would have extreme trouble getting the back to come out like that. Yes, lots of other cars can do that...especially RWD cars..but very very few Audis.
