[s-cars] Quattro.... there is no substitute - just add JNR

[Taka Mizutani]

Can any of you nuts that has a late-model Audi w/ ESP tell me how the ESP
does
in the snow?

Does it cause the car to terminally understeer to the point of not being
able to turn?

I've experienced this a few times in the Volvo where the DSTC is interfering
so much that
I can't turn at a decent speed in the loose stuff. I can't figure out how to
turn it off completely
w/o reading the manual- it was supposed to be hit the button 7 times, but
that doesn't work.

With quattro, ESP is too much of a killjoy, I'd think- being able to go in a
little hot, countersteer
and give it a lot of gas is part of the fun of driving quattro in the snow.
I wouldn't recommend trying
this on public roads, though. :-)
