I know its a quattro :P I have one. I had my s3 lowered and kept ripping the front spoiler on the ice and ruts.. especially after the snowplow had been past. I see you are in the audi club as well, i hope you participate in the track days (I think last one for the year is coming up). I am...

What does the thing way compared to the S3

Do they have some sort of electronic locking system or torsen middle diff.. else they will transfer drive to the wheel that is least loaded (IE with the least traction)
