Re: [VWoT] question about 1.8 16v head vs 2.0, K-man spins out!

[tmb <the_questionist@xxxxxxxxx>]

yeah, you likely would've.

the reason i mentioned the syncro, mike, is cuz
there was the possibility of a syncro in kreso's
stables a few weeks back.  'twas merely a
humourous jest.

tho i think the syncro may have helped to keep
him a little more stable.  assuming that he had
winter tires as well.  if the front started
washing out, then the rear tires would've started
driving, and the extra traction likely would've
increased his chances of driving instead of
spinning, no?
