Understeer in snow

I have noticed that the 200 behaves differently than the 5K and the 4K in snow
as well.  I have written it off at the Torsen center diff vs. the open diff.

In the 5k and the 4K, oversteer was the norm, and FUN!  In the 200, understeer
is the norm, and cought be quite by surprise the first time (before Audis, I
drove bitching Camero's, so I was quite used to oversteer, understeer is quite
another matter!).

Also, in the 5k/4k, in the snow, I could get the cars to do donuts around the
center axis of the car.  Lot's of fun!  I can't get the 200 to do that.  Once
again, guessing it is the torsen at work.

Just another datapoint.
