1st of all congrats on the new ride, you will love it!
The answer that I have found from on/off on snow, rain,dirt roads, road sand, etc is leave it on during daily drive. Too many dumb people on the road that you may need to swerve to avoid.
That being said, you will avoid a slight traction control bog if there is anything on the track that is slippery, but you will be hard pressed to spin a stock 2.7T in a straight line, there are just to many parts (awd etc)that are beingturned for it to spin. Maybe if you you had the K04 turbo upgrade you could break them loose. Keep in mind this car was engineered NOT to spin ordrift. That's more BMW territory.
Hope that helps!

ok... you look like the biggest noob idiot ever....... You are telling me to leave the ESP control on since i don't know much... well you should wake up because you are in an audi and there is ZERO CHANGE FROM IT ON OR OFF. The car has a manual override that notices situations aka it is a worthless tool on the car. Ha... maybe you should just stay out of situations you know jack about. That would be why you drove like a ***** in your moms car and now think your hot in your new one?
P.S. Maybe you should spend that extra money you spend on tints, rims, ect on a driving class nub.

Also, that makes NO sense, "the car has a manual override." If manual override would mean YOU took control of the situation, not the car. If the CAR noticed it, then that means its A U T O M A T I C, not manual.
Tints? Check. Rims? Check. Driving class? Only if you teach it! Cause I would love to learn about all the complicated things you're privy to like... dome lights... and..... winshield washer fluid.... and... floor mats. Wammy is an Audi god!
How many times do I have to own you, seriously?

Yeah man just leave it on. I have done some racing with my 4.2 on dry and wet pavement and the only time the thing comes on is when I am braking in snow and ice. It doesn't do anything unless you are really beating the crap out of your car under normal conditions.

azAudi it is obvious you knew ZERO about your mothers car or the one currently in your hands... from 10 to 22 years old your the same idiot.

grammar police!!!
your = possessive
you're = you are
aaaaaaaaaand once again just so i'm not running off topic, just leave it on, it's not going to do any harm either way though. all it will do is makethe carmore stable if something unforeseen happens out on the streets.

RE: ESP ON OR OFF?
Ugh ughm well this is an interesting one. lol. Tha ESP is there to protect you like everyone has said other than tha bashing lmao. Spinning tha tires is almost impossible. Even in rain its hard. If u get tha chance to drive it in tha snow then thats a different story. BUT, only if u turn tha ESP off. I can do doughnuts for days. I took a left turn doing about 40 mph with my friend one day and I managed to get it to drift without snow but then tha ESP corrected it and straightened it for me. It really will save u. It did its job right away.
