i went for a drive today turned the traction control off for the first time in the rain all i can say is what a difference .she handled much better no holding back the power .the back let go at one point oh dear has any body else had a same expererance

As soon as i get in i turn it off, cuts in tooo early!

i only use it when its icy!

I turn mine off when I give it some grief. Makes it sooooo much more exciting!

ESP off FTW!

I've only recently been toying with driving with ESP off... it's a different car in the damp that's for sure! Has anyone worked out a way of switching it off as default? - Be great if you could have the option of switching it back on...

I enquired about this some time ago ... apparently not is the answer. Shame, be nice to have it off as default setting ...

Whats the power Front\Rear split on the RS4, 40:60 ?

I thought it was a 50 50 split.

The B5 has a Torsen center differential, 50:50 split, automatically apportioning up to 80% of torque transfer to either axle.
The B7 is 40:60

i like to turn the esp off and give it a bit of welly pulling out onto the local dual carrigeway thus getting sideways a wee bit , it makes me smile. anyway tuesday morning @ 7.30 am one did the said manouver and gave it too many beans thus sending me 180 degrees and stuffing the car back the way i came into one of those sloping kerbs and demounting the front tyre from the rim and scraping the wheel a lot. had to get the spare wheel out for first time in the 7 years its been sat in the boot and do a speedy wheel change in 3 lanes of traffic. i left the esp on then for a day but now its back off again
