Re: So much for EDL!!
JP,
I seem to remember a discussion about the "roller test" at the quattro
Challenge I attended at Mosport in 2001 - at the time they had ESP equipped
on the cars so I guess you're not a believer in EDL quattro but possibly a
believer in EDL quattro with ESP....didn't the '02 have ESP???
Cheers!

50/50 front/rear distribution doesn't help if the traction difference is
side/side.

Not true! Even my 96 A4 2.6 FWD was equipped with EDL and ASR.
