Re: Audi Kool-Aid, Pt. II (long)
Josh Pinkert decided to speak these words:

i was under the impression tha the torsen not only reacted
instantaneously due to its purely mechanical nature, but that it was a
smoother and more linear power transfer as well. I thought that the
viscous systems were prone to a lag and then an exponential power
transfer...is this correct or is Josh Correct.
Also, i thought that the new S4 had some clutch pack kind of thing,
similar to the 964 system, which i think was designed by audi, and then
picked up by Porsche...
Please help me get my facts straight...later all
