Am I Normal
As for me personally my daughter assurors me that I’m not. 
What I should have asked is my 2004 A4 normal. My C5 is stock with two exceptions, I have replaced the 2.73 rear-end with a 3.42 and installed a performance turn from Wait4Me Performance. With these mod I still can’t spin the tires. I have torque management disabled and I turned off traction control. Should I be able to break the runflats loose for a dead stop?
Thanks

I am not normal either. I have never driven an auto vette so I don't know. Seems like the few auto cars I have driven you could step on the brake then run the power up release the brakes and fry the tires. I had a 92 6 speed and could drive off the line easy and nail it and break the tires loose. I now have a blown 02 and have a hard time hooking up through second. Maybe you should dyno it and see what kind of numbers your getting. On the other hand think of all the money your saving on tires!

I think you should be able to break those run flats loose...does it spin them when it shifts?

Spin???
My stock A4 with 3.15 axle will spln lightly with just a hint of wheel hop from a dead dig just stabbing the throttle. A good chirp going into second. Any type of brake torque and you will spin until you let off or crash. Pretty amazing that the run flats have as much bite as they do on good pavement. Chuck.

if you put the shifter into 1 you should have no problem. For some reason it holds back if you just put it into drive. It even says in the owners manual that you get more power in 1. i dont get it, but thats what it says.

I can burn rubber with my 98 A4 ,with the 3:15 axle, from any stop, i turn the traction control off and depending how hard i hit the gas the car likes to go sideways. so I have no problem catching some rubber....
