more power to the rear. and how can i change my driving like a boss to something else?
I only drive bossy, thats just how i roll. I feel like when i do burnouts and **** my friont tires are the ones spinning more....maybe thats cause im mostly doing doughnuts when losing traction. I love throwin my ride around corners like its nothin, thats the fun of awd!!!!!

If you learn to control the car better your rears kick out before. Point is though your front tires wear faster due to turning around corners not due to them peeling out.

your going into the mountains... not racing around the arctic for years... you seriously dont need to worry about switching power ratios for a little bit of snow. my tt with all seasons just got through 8'' up and down hills, your fine. get new tires.

You should just stop driving. You really have no idea what you're even talking about.

I was under the impression that Torsen can send 100% of torque to either axle... Haldex starts out at 100% front, and can send up to 50% to the rear.

Driving like a boss? That made me cringe. Hope you come back and read your own posts in a few years... you'll be embarrassed. I hope.

the torsen diff in the B5 quattro only alows up to 75%.
i think b7 and newer its like 80 or 85%, starting at 40f/60r...
i dont know, i read about it on wikipedia a while ago, look it up!

damn clx and headshok u guys are bahhumbugs. I think i am a damn good driver and would smoke both of you while shifting with my dong. Yeah i might drive a little crazy from time to time but im still a good driver and have never been in an accident. Pumpin a little adrenaline in your veins is nothing to be ashamed of. Ive always driven off road with my big chevy 1500 z71 and dirt bikes but decided to try some racing on the road for a change and its a lot different. nerds.
