Front - Rear Tourque Bias

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

Sounds like a torsen thread agin..........but: Haldex.
FYI, at a winter driving school, every TT that I sat in when the driver took 
off (straight line) from standing still the car went right (like torque steer) 
first, a la front wheel drive.  To the point that I even asked; "front wheel 
drive?" even though the "Quattro" badget was staring at me from the dash knee 
pad. -Scott by BOSTON
