It's been snowing here in Central PA since the wee hours, the plows can't seem to keep up with it. Anyway, I'm driving back to the office, and notice this Audi A6 pull out behind me. No cars for a long way back, so he gets on it as he turns and the car gets a bit sideways. I'm jealously watching this in the mirror. He pulls up next to me at the light and I notice that it's a 2.7T quattro. Probably a six speed, it's a small town. No idea on what tires he has, but it's running the factory rims. The light turns green and I notice that he gets off with no wheel spin at all, or at least none on the drivers side. My SET, shod with 1-season old Arctic Alpins, spins the tires, even engaging the clutch just off idle and gently accelerating. By the time I match speed with the Audi (about 25mph), he's 4-5 car lengths in front of me.
Advantage: quattro
