<< its limits.  it just seems funny to me that we are discussing what is a 
 theoretical to many, and a real flaw to some that only occurs in such 
 extreme circumstances that few would be able to travel.
 
 Just an observation and question, im just asking, so dont flame me or 
 anything.....

Extreme circumstances is wheel lift, mike.  There the Trg is reduced and the
torsen acts as it should.  Since my 'bite' is relative to before wheel lift, I
might think about 'E/C that few would be able to travel'.  If you accept
tshift happens, and the other variables that affect it, cf becomes significant
factor here.  One that you can only avoid being significant by not driving
your car when it's raining or snowing out.  Heretical thoughts for quattro
pride, I might propose.

Mike let me reiterate my post to Dave E, this phenomenon is not "extreme"
driving.  This is playing in that 7/10ths arena where most claim audis sweet
spot lies.  Yes I drive q's hard, and so I've seen the bite more than most on
both low and high cf.  On 44 chassis cars and 90 chassis cars.  

I might also propose, that smooth drivers have more potential for bite than
not so smooth ones.  Why?  Cuz if you are jerky with the wheel, you get wheel
lift, and Torsen saves you.  Get good, and the torsen isn't so kind.
Interesting thought, IMO.
