The Haldex system looks wonderful for all sorts of conditions, but the one I am most interested in is simple cornering on dry pavement.<P>A mechanical (Quattro, e.g.) system or some electronic systems split the torque in such a way as to balance the car quite nicely during cornering. It can give the feel of a RWD car plus a bit of extra grip from the front wheels biting in. Glorious to drive hard, I must say.<P>I can't see on the Haldex link ( <A HREF="http://www.haldex-traction.com/technical_information/six_dimensions/control_samples.htm)" TARGET=_blank>http://www.haldex-traction.com/technical_information/six_dimensions/control_samples.htm)</A> any reference to this "performance" type of control.<P>Does anyone here know how it works under throttle-holding cornering? I hope it doesn't, but am afraid it might keep it's FWD orientation until slippage is evident. I.e., it will help you after the car has been over-driven, but not help you drive the car at the limit.<P>Thanks in advance for any info.!<P>Marc
