quattro Digest, Vol 9, Issue 73 - Re: quattro handling dynamics at the edge

[Larry C Leung]

Or just about ANY vehicle at the limit. Weight transfers to the 
front axle, and off the rear. Less rear grip. Car comes around.
The effect is more exaggerated in a REAR engined car such as
911's and Bugs, but it sure isn't limited to them. Spun my GTi
in more than one autocross event doing precisely this manuver. 
Glad that I learned that at a 'cross before hitting a track.
