Fun in the rain with 80qt

[JShadzi at aol.com]

   Well, we have been getting some rain out here recently in Ca, and the 80q 
with the MC turbo never fails to thrill and surprise me!  Even in the dry, in 
first and second gear, the rears will spin and the rear end will kick out 
going around a sharp turn, but in the rain, it is a wholly different story.  
In gears 1-3, any throttle inputpast 3/4 will result in firing up all 4 
tires, and a beautiful 4 wheel slide!  
   It is very exhilirating...first, the back tires will start spinning 
bringing the rear of the car around about 20 degrees.  A few seconds later 
the tors*n will start distributing power to the front causing them to spin 
and straigtening out the car.  Hard as I might, the car will not over-rotate, 
just kick out the back and engage in a smooth and controlled power slide-my 
reaction is much smiling and often whoops can be heard with the windows down  
=)
   In a U-turn situation I can actually get smoke off the tires the wheel 
spin is so violent.  For all of you considering turboing a Quattro-do not 
hesitate!  It is a blast!
