What's your thinking on this?
I can see at higher speeds a sudden throttle change may lead to over steer, but at the speeds one would use a locking rear diff, that wouldn't be an issue.
I drove an '87 4000 Quattro years ago and I must say the locking diffs (rear and centre) were greatly appreciated a few times. In fact the only time I locked the diffs was in snow. I never had the car in deep mud.
