Quattro lost tration TWICE last night WTF! rantish
once at a stop light, it had been raining for quite a while still a little drizzle, i got challanged by an old 3 series with //M stickers all over it (not an //M). reved to 2k light green, his wheels just spin, i start to go then, i feel one wheel let go, grip, then others let go, then grip, in five seconds i had gone about 15 feet. Then later going around a corner not fast a all the car seemed fine the just oversteared to the right, i was perpindicular to the road. This is a weird feeling, because as you try to correct you may have a wheel grip, which throws the car around, then it will loose traction and another will gian traction, this makes the car do something completely different. didn't touch a thing, luckily there was very little traffic.

As much as I love Quattro...
its still connected to the pavement through four little patches of rubber. A 3500lb car is going to slip around a little bit here and there, even with Quattro.

1. Prolly as you passed over the paint strips you lost traction. What kind of tires do u have?
2. sounds like driver error. I'll bet you came off the gas midturn.

What tires are you running? Got any tread left on them?
I noticed a huge improvement in wet handling when I went from my old Nitto 450R's to a new set of Michelin Pilot Sports.
