In a nose heavy car like Quattro you have to do it way way  before most
other cars, otherwise you will fall a victum of understeer. In my other
favorite car I can punch it much later and still get the same result as
in my Quattro. Compared to other AWD cars of modern days Q  is much more
difficult to drive in their current layout. Hence very fiew competitive
Quattros in rally these days.
