    just had to ask

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    got some good snow today here in ny and was just wondering if pulling the e-brake and having some fun was a good or bad idea in our cars. i didnt do it but was just wondering because i wasnt sure how it would effect the quattro system.

    I'd probably turn off traction control first.

    ^yes, if you dont have quattro, I guess you could do it. Quattro + e-brake = FAIL

    you could make your car spin...drive fast, slam brakes and turn.

    Re: just had to ask

    I love the Quattro in the snow!

    I have a foot at my house right now, and I fish tailed/counter turned a little bit heading up my driveway. (on purpose)

    Quattro FTW! It feels weird, but you have to stay on the gas through the turn.

    Re: just had to ask

    From your signature it looks like you have a 6 speed... Make sure you push in the clutch when you pull up and engage the e-brake. Also, to save your clutch try to rev match before letting off the clutch to keep your slide going!

    Beat me to it... You definitely need to stay on the gas to keep the slide going.

    Heres a video... you can see how turning into the slide and giving it gas will help keep it going and pull you out of some gnarly slides.

    Re: just had to ask

    I did it yesterday in the snow. You barely have to pull it out to get the wheels to lock, then just release and floor it and it's no traction

    Re: just had to ask

    snow ftmfw. i had a ball today. you can keep a controlled drift in the snow for two blocks lol. If you keep traction on, floor it the car is trying to avoid giving full power so the tires dont spin and the car back fires like a mother ****** because the car is getting fuel cut. sounds ridiculous. no 360's didn't want to break an axle:)

    power steering pump is what you really have to worry about.

    whatever it is i just really didn't feel comfortable doing 360's in my car, had a feeling i was going to break something but doing some powerslides is fun.

    Re: just had to ask

    It helps when you work there and get out after everyone has already left. Doug, I would just scope the place out first. I pulled out one day a little too fast, and I managed a little wheelspin around that first corner (usually keep ESP off). It was late, no cars around, and the plan was to floor it to that stop sign at the other end. And then I saw a cop just over the crest. And then I turned and parked my car with the quickness where all those taxis line up... Waited for 10 minutes, got back in after my cig and drove away SLLLOOOWWWLLYYY... Cop was still sitting there wondering who was squealing their tires cuz he gave me the dirtiest look when I drove past him...
