Default Can you do e-brake induced power slide with Quattro???

I know they can do it with AWD rally cars. I'm too chicken to try it on my own car for fear of blown up torsen.

Default You can, but you shouldn't

If you want a power-slide you can get some 4-wheel drift going with the AWD on a fast corner (don't do it on the streets though).

As for the e-brake.. it can be done but it will cause more wear on your brakes as well as the Torsen.. A few days ago someone posted a site with an RS4 test-drive video.. the host puts the RS4 into some oversteer conditions using the e-brake to have a bit more fun on the track (the Audi engineers seemed to have designed the RS4 with understeer in mind). His slides are impressive, but he prefaces his e-brake maneuvers with "Don't tell Audi..."

Default agreed

I've done it on dry pavement, and
spent a long time picking rocks that
were embedded in the rubber (not just
between tread...IN the rubber!).

I felt silly after that...but,
I HAD to do it, once, just to be sure!

No problem. Just find a snowy parking lot or dirt road.
