LAC - Which version of Quattro was the Synchro

[Larry C Leung]

Called the "red mist" of AWD, 4WD etc. So much traction and lack of wheel
slip at speed that driver's think they can do anything in slippery situs.
Too bad 4WD is also 4W stop and 4W steer. And ANY attempt a typical
street corner 90 degree bend at 50 MPH is gonna send you sailing, Torsen,
or not.
