Default Quattro Launch

Maybe I am just old fashion and am having a hard time learning new tricks....but I am having a hard time launching my 1996 5sp A4Q off the line! I am 99% shure that my clutch is not slipping (although it is the original clutch to my knowledge).

I am taking it to 3000rpm....and then feathing the clutch out quickly while i get into the gas.... The result....no power....and what feels like clutch slip!!!!whats the deal? any advice???

Default You want to let the clutch fully out, THEN get into the gas..

Because a quattro can't spin a tire, the clutch will tend to slip if you get the power on before it's fully engaged.

Default Don't worry. His 1.8 will probably not be around much longer.

They have a pool going on in Chicago. 10 dollars gets you in.

Default Who do I give my money to?

Although I guess I could ultimately win (is that the right word?) the bet at any given time I choose.
