Default rwd A4....possible?

i was thinking on my way home today. you could totally just plug the front axle output shafts and have a completely rear wheel drive car. hmmmm. any other idea's. or is this even possible. im still pretty new to the engineering of the audi A4.

we made my buddy's eclipse gsx front wheel only and then back to awd. but of course those cars came either way. so i was just thinking this would probably work.

but you can get a different center differential that can do more like a 40/60 or 30/70 split

**** i havent seen a car with a full frame in years. i wish the body would just come off like that. haha. that center diff is a good idea. im thinking more for getting crazy around turns. although with this freakin stupid movie coming out and all that hype i might just hide in a corner till drifting dies down again.

Actually I live about 15 min away from TAPP. When you go and use their Dyno, they actually convert your car to RWD. Any custom tuning they do, they convert the car over.

Edit: No its not easy, but its done.
