RE: quattro-digest V4 #202

[sdF <blood@mindspring.com>]

I, too practice during the first bouts of slick weather. This is my first year with a quattro and I had a tough time getting it to slide at first, too... 

With the Coupe I have found it incredibly easy to do a doughnut by locking the rear diff and simply applying throttle.... While on the road I have not been able to make it fishtail or hang the rear out without getting pretty radical with throttle/steering inputs as the original poster suggested, but this car does the best and most controllable four wheel drifts I have ever seen. Plenty of fun...

Eric- please clue me in on how to do AWD doughnuts, I'd be much appreciative...

It's EASY Doing AWD donughts.... And to top it off the car rotates on the 
center armrest and never exceeds it's on length!  Just need to know how 
to do them.
