Well, you're in the wrong forum (this is C6 tuning) but I had a C5 A4 so I'll see if I can help... Turn off the traction control. If that doesn't do it, hold the brakes lightly and light them up. Then go empty your wallet into the "I need new tires jar".

There is abuse mode programming that keeps you from raising the rpm too high while on the brakes but it can be programmed out.

Well, it might still be a dog, but you won't know until you turn off the traction control.
