Default quattro(awd) into a FWD?

Just out of curiosity, anyone know if I disconnect the drive shaft for the back on my quattro, will it be faster? will it damage anything?

well it would still weigh the same as a quattro as opposed to a fronttrak, so it would be slower than a frontrak
i might be wrong but i'm pretty sure disconnecting the drive shaft wouldn't be the best idea in the world

the quattro system weights 300 lbs....so if he disconnected his drive shaft it would decrease powertrain loss. but idk if doing that would be a wise move.

jukeit, In the snow is the like the only time awd is fun.

reneriarik- Only way to make your car faster is to bolt on a bigger turbo, which is not a low budget thing.
