I know that the quattro system in this car has a switch, could someone enlighten me as to what function this switch performs? Is it possible to switch it to RWD only?

If I bought an RS2 turbo, what kind of HP would I be looking at?

Switch enables you to lock the differentials. #1 is to lock the center differntial, #2 is to lock the rear and center differentials. Good stuff to have when the snow starts flying and piling up!

HTH!

My owners manual for my 87 5kq says to only lock the differentials when the car is stuck and not to exceed 15 mph when the differentials are locked!

Hmm, would it be possible to electronically disengage the front differential (if I did some wiring stuff, but hook it up to a switch, so I can still have AWD) (I'm coming off of a Mercedes, and I'm really used to having RWD, enjoy oversteer, and all of the fun things people with RWD do)

Any more talk like this and I will report you to the authorities and have your Audi put into protective custody.

I know that driving with the tail out can be a lot of fun, but PLEASE by a BMW if you must have rear weel drive.

AArghhhh!

the rs2 has so much horsepower, the system of measure has not been invented that can measure it... actually, a REAL RS2 can give you about 535bhp
