I just wonder how your butt is calibrated to dettect a better 
chassis? :)
I have driven both of them and thought the opposite.
I can't prove it so I do not claim it.
Are you a race driver?  Driven any F1 races lately?
So do not tell everyone BMW chassis is better just by the way it 
feels to you.   I do not claim one is better than other.  I just wonder how you 
can be so sure.  Did you design both cars?

And a buyer of 90 quattro would not go and see what BMW has to offer?
You change your stories to make things fit your way.  You use physics 
to explain torsen, yet do not believe people who drive them.  You quote 
magazines and yourself but not look at physics of chassis dynamics.  

Later.
