Default Quattro Donuts

Attempted donuts last night and they were surprisingly good considering its stock and a Quattro. Anyone else attempted them?

You are supposed to dunk your donuts.

Must be nice to care so little about your tires that you're willing to ruin them to perform a stupid stunt. Rich kids...SMH

Every year when the first snow flies, I find a open parking lot and take some hard corners and hard stops. Gets me used to how the car handles, it's limitations with reduced traction and what it takes to recover from a skid. Better than finding out when on the roads.

Snow has been light for the last two years where I live. I did take the A7 out and I was disappointed in the handling with the Conti DWS06's. The front end plowed a good ways before the tail would come around. Could be the tires or just the way the car is. I have a pair of EuroCode sway bars in the garage waiting to be installed. Hoping to see a change when the snow falls next year.

Totally not the same thing. I do similar testing, so that I am familiar with how the car handles. Always have.

The OP doesn't say if he did this on snow or dry pavement. Big difference. Do it enough times on dry pavement and besides wearing the tires down, there's a fair chance he can kiss the Quattro system goodbye.
