why would you need 4x4 at 90mph, of course it will switch off probably long before that speed lol

lots of reading, but you can tell your buddy all about his cars abilities. the TT is easy to explain: Haldex™ Clutch
Featured on TT quattro® models, the Haldex™ clutch distributes power to the front and rear wheels to provide optimal traction. This power split is based on factors such as engine speed, wheel speed, and torque. In the absence of wheel slippage, this system defaults to front-wheel drive.

--and for the car you are talking about visit: http://www.sonic.net/garyg/zonc/Tech...ferential.html

like i said, lots of reading, but if mechanisms give you wood, very hot! VERY HOT!

power distribution "gearing" that's the word I was looking for even though its technical it does this, the TT does it better because of newer technology
