Official: HPA releases new Haldex Controllers
<center><img src="http://www.hpamotorsport.com/images/competition.jpg"></center><p>HPA releases the Competition Haldex Controller
Developed by racers for racers; the Competition Controller, clearly identified in orange, transforms the Haldex equipped 4-Motion platform into a weapon on the track. Similar in principle to the standard performance Haldex upgrade, the Competition Controller features one MAJOR difference.
Back in the '80s the Audi Quattros dominated the race track with their unbelievable ability to brake late when entering the corners. This ability was a result of the rear axle staying engaged under full braking allowing for a combined mechanical and frictional stopping force to be applied across all 4 wheels. The Competition Haldex Controller offered from HPA mimics this by keeping the rear axle fully engaged while under braking. Where the stock Haldex and HPP units release the rear axle into a free wheel situation as the brakes are applied, the Competition unit keeps the rear axle engaged, generating additional mechanical force to assist in slow down and maintain dynamic chassis balance.
The Competition Controller is best suited to FI applications with high torque outputs. The experienced driver will benefit from the additional chassis control afforded by the equal deceleration rates of the front and rear axle. This allows the driver's input to dictate the vehicle dynamics under braking, corner entry and exit rather than falling victim to the abrupt disengagement of the rear axle. This added stability and control translates directly to faster lap times; making the Competition Controller a must for the competitive driver.
This application is not suited for slippery or snowy street use as it will cause immediate over steer when braking in a corner.
Price: $999
HPA releases the Stealth Performance Haldex Controller
Due to popular demand, HPA introduces an unpainted Haldex controller with 100% of the same features and benefits of the blue controller. Each unit is subtly identified as an HPA Stealth Controller. This provides the perfect alternative for the enthusiast who does not want to draw attention to their performance modifications.
Price: $899

IMO, only a serious nutcase would put a Competition Controller on his car...
Unless it was used almost exclusively for competition.
Although I'm sure some people will buy it just for the name anyway... "I've got the *competition* controller."
Caveat emptor.
That said, I bet that thing would kick serious *** on the track!!
