Default A4 with hard launches

Just read latest Chevy Hi Performance article on all wheel drive turbo S10 LS1, it seems truck cut 1.58 60ft. times and had oil starvation issues with 4l60e. I thought guys with hard leaving F-bodys could use a HEADS UP about this before it becomes a problem for them. I think adeep pan with some type of baffling should keep fluid pickup covered under launch conditions.
Maybe theres a special pickup that is routed to back corner of pan? <img src="graemlins/camaro.gif" border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" />

i read that. i looked at the time, then looked at the 60' <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> then i read the article. they launched easy cause they didnt want to break the tranny <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> . then they said the bit about the oil- scared me a little. im cutting 1.55 on nittos, wonder what it would be on a WOT flash on ET streets.

I'm sure it was related to the awd. I've never heard of an A4 with oiling problems.

Same thing as his 9 sec. Vette, only in AWD truck form.
