    Re: Video Of A Turbo Doing Donuts

    Somebody, RC maybe, please exlain to me how they can spin the wheels of the awd tt like that. I read in some tech article that the computer will let you spin the rear wheels only if you have dialed in the appropriate counter stee to prevent a spin yet in this video he is pormoting a spin. How does this work?

    My money is on manual.

    Look closely: at the 13th second of the video, it looks like he's holding his hand on the stick. Not conclusive, but it makes more sense...

    Almost def. SC, and most probably manual (I dont think a tip could achieve those donuts, maybe with sc).

    Re: Video Of A Turbo Doing Donuts

    I think the driver is writing for the romanian AMS and my dealer should know him. If u are interested I can ask wether the car is a manual or tip.

    Here is a WMV version of the vid for anyone having problems viewing it or wants to save it to their desktop.
    I don't know what he's saying but it's a funny video - looks like he's riding a mechanical bull with his arm hanging out the window!

    I read that even with the AWD there is really VERY little HP going to the front end....nearly always less than 10%.

    Turning off PSM, turning on Sport Chrono Sport mode (if this car had sport chrono, don't remember, can't watch video now...PDA) and voila...
