Converting a Quattro into rear/fwd drive?

Me and my brother in Law were comparing cars as he has a jetta with the 1.8t and i have an Audi with the 1.8t. We were comparing and found his car took off and pulled way harder. We are guessing more or less im loosing a lot of power from the awd system. Just a question, could be odd but wondering if it was possible?

Can you make that car a fwd or rear wheel drive?

Thanks,

A typical answer would be, you throw enough money at anything, you'll get it to work...

His car is lighter since its doesnt have all the luxury goodies and the extra axles and diffs.

Yeah i knew it was lighter, but i didn't know it would be that big of a difference. I would like to see my audi as a fwd and not the quattro and see how it does.
