Will that even work in the audi?

Or will it just bog the heck out of the car? Or worse yet, slip the clutch and leave that nice burning smell.

I'm wondering the same thing.

I mean shiznit, I'm hard on the car, but I've NEVER done that. No matter how hard I've needed to or actually gotten out of the hole.

Like I said, I don't do it, but I think it would bog down or slip the clutch, etc.

Like I said, it's extreme, and I don't recommend it, but you asked what it meant so I told you.

I don't know how a Audi would take it but I have done it in my old ranger and I have don't it with a friend's civic because they it wasn't tuning and a ford focus because some kept saying I could never do it with their car with out it stalling it 90% of the time the tires break lose and u do a wicked rolling burnout
