Isn't it because one of the pipes is made thin which restricts air flow at higher revs not allowing large bhp figures?

what do they say on here about 4 wheel drive and "twisties" etc
Maybe we can lay that little ghost to rest

4WD in a road car is for women and gays.

Edited to say - or people who live in mountainous area's like Nacro

ID - once again keeping it real

The Audi's 4WD system is biased towards safety not speed.

4WD does give an advantage in the wet in terms of traction, I'm no expert but I imagine it doesn't confer such an advantage in terms of ouright grip however.


edited to add: quote "4WD in a road car is for women and gays."

or people who live in mountain regions like me!
