Good question....
I guess part of the answer is because we were already part way into it when we decided to REALLY modify her car, and the other part was the challenge of it. Nobody has really setup a competitive Audi for the unique handling characteristics of autocross, plus fast AWD autox cars are kinda rare.
I could definitely tell you were faster in the Avant this weekend, just watching you from the paddock. Sharon is learning the Miata very quickly, prior to this weekend she only had about 25min in that car in November. She got down to 2:19.0 by the end of the event, which is where Bryon and I were after 4 days in the car.

You have understeer? I can toss my rear at will with only the 22mm bar and stock suspension. I think
you need to start autoxing to learn how to rotate your car a lot better. I think you just are not pushing it.

It's not at turn in, but when I think I can be going a bit faster DURING the
process of turning towards the apex (the space/time between the actual turn in and reaching the apex), especially in constant radius sweepers (or even possibly decreasing radius), the car just plows.
It's definitely the weight of the car as it doesn't like going any bit faster than I was trying to take it through turns 2 and 4 and 5a.
Hurrumph.
