But not doing so also nullifies the comparison. Running your V8 with
its driveshafts out is just as invalid as doing the same thing with
an ur-quattro.
In any event - we're not looking for maximum dyno power, or we'd be
playing with top fuel dragsters. The key benefit of the quattro system
is balance - a combination of technologies to achieve the best result.
Horsepower is only part of that equation. Handling, weight and
aerodynamics also play their parts.
