Problem.  U and O are addressed with the torque split of the race cars,
exascerbated by the street cars.  A choice of absolute traction and abs, over
high speed handling characteristics.  A wise choice?  Maybe for most drivers
of quattro.  

Problem #2.  Quattro in T*rsen trim bites, and hard, in terms of U and O.  Why
specifically Audi doesn't race with it.  Dissimulation?  Naw, just scares the
hell out of some of us.  

Problem #3.  Who needs high speed handling?  Well to a T*rsen that's a cf
argument.  What is high speed when you are driving that quattro on snow or
ice?  Friend or foe.  Dissimulation?  Audi claims friend.  I've experienced
foe.  

Coupla thoughts.
