Quattro's DEFINETELY come with ESP. Majority of post 99 Audi's have it.

so can you turn the esp off to get a better launch? o and by the way...when you guys pop the clutch do you get a slight buck before you take off? or does she just b-line straight up.

I can but I make a little more then stock hp.

On the quattro car it is not easy to spin all 4 wheels off the line since the car has a torsen center diff which applies power to the wheel with the least resistance and the car also uses the ABS to slow down the fastest spinning wheel and apply resistance.
it applies power to the wheel with the most resistance

Remove one of your axles and then try saying that again.

The front and read differentials transfer power to the wheel with least resistance, thats why ESP will apply breaks to that wheel in order to stop slippage. The center diff applies power to the front and rear depending on which has most resistance

Torsen supplies instant torque not sustained power.

Hmm, well even if that is so, it still does what i said lol. it is rare that you have sustained power transfer, but what you say about it not applying sustained power seems odd, as it is mentioned otherwise in everything of it i have read and that would make it useless for the off-road uses such as Rally that is was designed for. That and the mechanics wouldn't make much sense looking at how it works
