check this out from the 'racing' forum.
Im interested in how different the driving technique is for our TT's versus a normal c2. i do find that it is far more difficult to control a TT once the tail steps out than it is a c2.

I believe he was talking about an Audi TT, not a Porsche TT

graham - no , read the thread, he has a 996TT. At some point, some other guy talks about audi awd.
Eitherway, i am interested in learning more how 'awd'-like our cars behave.

They behave very well indeed.

Money spent on high performance driving courses is the biggest and best value modification anyone can make. Adjust the nut behind the wheel first!

They behave very well indeed but they also behave differently...I've just switched from a C2 to the TT and found it much harder to control once the tail comes out. I think it is caused by the viscous coupling trying to transfer power upfront as you are trying to grapple with trying to bring the tail back in...maybe I'm just not skillful enough but they definitely need a different driving technique..the TT does not turn in as sharply ....the comparison was done at SepangF1 track, so not reckless driving on public roads..check out Rassel's thread "nuts".

IMO the TT under a 2WD setup is easier to drive on the track or road racing. As a general purpose car, the 4WD is better as it provides more safety under rain etc..

The lighter and more precise steering due to the absence of the front differential, torque tube and front axles is (very) noticeable, the car only pushes instead of pull/push, no...push/pull.... no..... pull/push

Even without a 40-60 diff, it is much easier to drive surprisingly. Also lighter, and when you want some fun, you have it at your fingertips. Suspension setup becomes critical however.

ACEparts_com, do you have any reference on these courses: http://www.rallyschool.co.uk/courses.asp ? I am considering a week-end trip to England ( I live in Spain ) solely for the the Real Rally course and the 1-1 tuition. Of course only with 4WD cars.

PS.- Hope you don't mind for this "invasion" into your 993 TT area...

My TT drives more like a RWD than a AWD car, at least compared to my Audi S4 and my Subaru STI. What you can get out of the car has more to do with the driver than the car; I am not a very good driver, and for my driving style and skills, the STI with the active diff and all the gizmos seem to hide my weakness the best. Hope to master the TT someday

I don't know anything about rally school except it looks like sensational value for money! I think I'm going to give it a go soon!
