Transients/WOT

[thomas walter x5955]

On the subject of WOT:

During the time trials of Pike's Peak Hill climb, the Audi engineers
had fitted Michele Mouton's Quattro with the full array of sensors.

After looking over her times, one engineer pointed out the "problem"
of her slow times... she was not keeping the engine at WOT long enough.
Being a rather practical driver, she suggested the engineer strap himself
into the navigators seat for the next run.

Poor fellow returned white as a ghost, and when asked about the "lack
of time at WOT" he replied "Kein Problem, Kein Problem" (no problem
at all).

With so much carbon fiber built into the "special Quattro" they had
overlooked the GROUNDING of the ECU. Once fixed, well... Our French
Lady driver set a record time that held for a few more years.

Cheers,
