[RE5PECT]

anyone get their a4 sideways with the quattro set up on dry pavement on a regular turn....my beast has been doin it quite a bit and its gettin fun...i guess it woudl be cuz my rears are kinda worn down, an nice s4 rear sway and i have a 175lbs + sound system in the trunk...so i guess it woudl make the 60/40 weight dist a lil more even...but i was runnin around with one of my buddies with an e46 M and he was like wtf...dont you have quattro that shit should understeer....i proved him worng ;)

I may be a newbie but I have no idea what you just said.

dude you must drive like a maniac and have gobs of power in your A4 to get this car sidways...I could only get my b5 sideways...(actually a 360) in the snow....thats even doing 55mph in turnes marked 15mph.....

Thats crazy. You must drive your car like you stole it, thats cool but be prepared to be spending a lot of money on tires if you start doing it constantly.

Oh btw you have any videos?

[Redundant]

His tires are the least of his worries, that is for sure. I've gotten my car to understeer only when not driving correctly (aka braking too late while in a turn) otherwise it's a pushing and sometimes neutral beast.

Jeez -- sounds like you're driving that thing hard if you're getting it to turn 45 degrees and slide. If you have video footage, please post as we would love to see...

I haven't been able to get mine to slide yet unless the pavement is slick / icy.

yea i do drive like a manic sometimes through the twisties....but tires arent a problem for me at all (family owns a chain of retail tire stores in so cal) haha so its not a big deal....but i think that maybe my suspension is dialed in maybe...i dunno but its fun sometimes

[obviouse]

Its like a friend used to tell me "Drive like you stole it... or at least lost the driver during a Chinese Firedrill gone awry..."

[RE5PECT]

well i mean, i didnt get a bbk, full suspension, sways, ecu upgrade etc etc etc to not enjoy it and use it to the fullest, ya know? basically, im trying to get my moneys worth
