Re: quattro advantage

[Tom Van Ness <tom@reece.com>]

When we get a nice snow here in Denver (or the mountains), there is
ABSOLUTELY no comparison between FWD and quattro. Quattro makes you feel
like you're in a tank. There's no sliding under controlled acceleration,
and even under full throttle acceleration, there's little slippage. I sorta
feel bad for those of you who own quattros but have never driven them in
snow. There's nothing like it.
