Default 2006 B7 Quattro front/rear bias

Anyone know what the initial (normal) front/rear bias is in a 2006 A4 2.0T Q with Tiptronic? I have not been able to find this information in the Audi literature. Thanks.

Audi is reserving the 40/60 bias for the S and RS only

Default No idea

I think there was a reason why posted by Christian Bokich on the Fourtitude B7 A4 forum back around 5/31 but can't remember. He's the Audi of America product manager for the A4/S4/RS 4.

I'm thinking it's just marketing, more for the more sportier/powerful S/RS lineup.

Default 99% Marketing

I'd rather the money was spent on improving the F/R weight distribution. The rear wheel drive bias is not a bad thing, but I doubt thatthere will be great performance benefits in the real world here on the streets of our cities and the highways that connect them.

Balanced weight would do more. But even that would hardly be radical for most.
