Type 85 (Torsen) vs Type 44 (Torsen)
Had some fun tonight - took the new Type 44 wagon down one of my
accustomed 'rat runs' instead of the Type 85.
It really is quite a spectacular vehicle.
You wanna know just how stupid the British are? Audi sold just TWO
of these things in the 1990 model year - BMW sold over 20,000 5-series.
Real, real fun. Knowing how a Torsen reacts and being accustomed to
the quattro drivetrain and (to a certain extent) the engine helped. But
you can hustle a Type 44 wagon along just fine.
