Default News to me! New C4 with pdk can be a C2

Just found this recently and I thought it was really cool!

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/07/p...-in-carrera-4/

Basically, if you have a new Carrera 4 with the pdk, if you put the parking brake on 1 click it disengages the front axle. Thusly making your awd 911 rwd at your own will.

No way in HE (double hockey stick) - that is such a bunch of Bologna...

Just think of the logic - pull the parking brake up one click? You don't think there would be a more elegant solution?

Oops - been driving around with my front wheels deactivated on my C4 - but for some reason I keep burning up the rear discs...

The only use I could see is for parking lot donuts and drifting competitions.... It is becoming a popular sport...
