Default Lay wheels? WTH is that? With a quattro, the rear axle is mechanically attached to the front...

there is no way to turn that off. when you dump the clutch, something has to give, the clutch is the weakest link..

Default Yeah, if you had 300hp... you'd still more than likely roast the stock clutch..

you would have to be on a very low grip surface as well.

There is no traction control other than ESP and EDL on any Audi with quattro. You are just not putting enough power down to spin the tires.
