Torsen Test Redux w/ 88 80q

[TM]

Because this topic came up, I thought I'd ask:

The BMW test-drive thing that I went to this past fall had
a demonstration of the "superiority" of the BMW AWD system.

In this simulation, there was a ramp with rollers situated
so that only one wheel has traction at any given time. The
330xi had no problem with this test, but the A4q didn't cut
it.

I know that the Gen. I quattros would have no problem- lock
the center and rear diffs and it should be able to go right
up, but what about the other cars? I thought that the EDL
would kick in and allow it to climb.

Not really a realistic test, but it shows the limitations of
the AWD system- a G-Wagen w/ triple locking diffs would have
no problem either.
