Just a little info... the audi quattro has power delivery from front to rear 50/50 with most normal driving, if needed can compinsate and send up to 62% of the power to one wheel if needed. Pretty smart car huh....

 

correction it is 67% not 62%

 

No way a g2 puts down 260 awhp. More like about 220 awhp.

 

^^^^Go to SCaudi.com and search for dyno results. A supercharger adds more than 30hp.

 

30hp or 30whp. that a huge differance

 

Just to get a bit back on topic, your decision on FWD or AWD really comes down to what you will be doing. If you are going to upgrade and drag or autocross, defanitly go with AWD. With many mods, front wheel drive has trouble getting power to the line. If you are looking for a normal daily driver with maby a chip but no real big mods, and you arnt going to be doing any sort of racing, go with FWD

Tho, i personally would never own a FWD car (no offence anyone who has FWD, i just despize the way they handle and perform)

 

what is the difference between whp and hp?

 

even my moms 1.8 passat can spin the tires a bit, that has like 120 at the wheels or so.. i dont want to imagine more than double that in a lighter car haha.. awd owns

 

yea i have a quattro and i am happy with it. However I am wondering if it is worth it to put a G2 on my car which is a quattro or just be satisfied with what I have.

 

HP is measured at the crankshaft, thats what the manufacturer states. Whp is measured at the wheels, hence the W. Power is lost in the drivetrain due to factors like friction, weight, and gear ratio. Your engine puts out 190hp but you only get around 150, (guesstimated), at the wheels.
