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

[Pasqualoni, James E]

My B6 S4 did.  And the loaner A4 1.8t mule tiptronic I JNR'd for a few
days was even worse!!!

	Not even an e-brake turn! The DSTC cuts in so hard on the Volvo
that I can't come
	in hot and turn at all- the DSTC brakes the wheels so that you
don't turn!
	
	That's f'ing scary- I can handle a little tail out action, but
not being able to turn at all 
	is not right. It won't let you turn on loose surfaces unless
you're crawling and all 4 wheels
	have traction, but it won't stop the car from yawing and
fishtailing all over the place in
	a straight line, with the wheel straight. WTH? 
	
	This is a '04 Volvo V70R- if their performance model is like
this, I can't see the "normal"
	models being any better. What it really needs is a "competition"
mode, like the Corvette-
	doesn't intervene unless you're really way, way out of shape.
	
	Does your Audi w/ ESP do that? Which car- S8?

The results are,
