Audi told Matt Farah three times that the RS3’s trick real diff could put 100% of its power to a single rear wheel. He asked them (repeatedly) to verify it and lo and behold it turned out that it could put 100% of “available power” (i.e., max of 50% of total power) to a single rear wheel. Moral is that the story…

I came here to ask about this. I cannot image they went through the added complexity of mechanically linking the front and rear drive systems...

That’s....not how electric motors work, the front motor can’t send its power to the rear. Drift mode will just be disabling the front motor, leaving you with a 270kW/~360hp RWD car

If it’s being sold from an address on Buford Highway in metro Atlanta, you probably don’t wanna mess with it.

This seems like prudent information for this article...

Do you have a link to the live stream? Should we check the museum website, or their YouTube channel?

+1 for radar cruise control. I never tried it until I got my ‘19 Tacoma, which curiously works quite well with the 6MT. It is weird shifting while the system is active. Radar cruise makes highway driving so much more tolerable.

You forgot “heated steering wheel.”

I’m not Australian, nor have ever been there and I’ve never watch a whole Supercar race. But! I know every turn in this course from playing Real Racing 3 on my iPad for the last five years or so. From my 2 dimensional experience, its about all time than can be gained or lost from (and I had to look this up online)…

I’ll take all the Saisons on Thanksgiving... or any other time of year to be honet!!

And despite your corporate overlords telling you to stick to sports, I hope Deadspin never does because

and I can’t emphasize this enough

I come to Deadspin BECAUSE YOU DON’T JUST STICK TO SPORTS

Not to mention that no street in that town runs in a straight line for more than 100 feet.

26' UHaul truck. On two occasions. One time with a manual transmission.

I mostly remember her from Xtrem 4X4 at Spike TV. She was a badass.

The 104 yard pick six you referred to was not a pick six. If you remember, Ben Watson chased him down from the other side of the field and separated Champ’s body from his soul, as well as the football, at the one yard line.

I suggested a greenbrier! This too would work!

A wagon might not be quirky enough. A buddy picked up a Corvair Rampside a few years back for $3K and is working to restore it. They are out there and begging to be loaded with kegs via the ramp. (stock image)

They’re arguing over fair market value of a car bought with blood money. I love Koenigsegg but they definitely need to shut the entire fuck up on this one. 

Don’t forget the Mil-6!

The podcast accompanying the episodes goes into great detail about this.
