off topic / traction control

[justin ivan]

VW uses this technology to somewhat disatourous affects. In aggressive (read 
drag racing) environments, the diff literally hammers itself apart as the 
brakes are constantly pulsed to try and keep traction. The downfall isn't so 
much in the traction control method but that VW uses crappy rivets and not 
30 bucks worth of bolts in it's diffs.
