No torsen for me



The point I was making is that torsen center diff. cars actually lose
traction if you aren't careful with the go pedal.  If 1 rear tire is
spinning then 1 front tire is spinning.  The two tires that have grip
quickly lose it because they now have to take care of the forces the
spinning tires cant handle.  Then the front and rear wheels lose
traction.  The car had month old tires on it.  My 4000 Q had 2 year old
dunlop d60's on it (by the way they were basically bald.)  My car would
take the corner like nothing as long as I was semi-smooth through the
corner.  I also experienced all tires loosing traction at once in a high
speed corner on a wet road.  My foot stayed in the same spot on the gas
in fear of spinning it.  I slid about 2 feet out throughout the entire
corner.  I blame both slides on the torsen, not the tires or the
driver.  Audis are famous for their handling at the limits so why is
everyone saying that we shouldn't push our cars there?
By the way if torsens are so good why is audi using EDL now?  I'm not
trying to pick fights about ridiculous things, im just stating my
opinion.
