Since it is getting close to winter and i havent had a chance to drive my car all summer due to the 3sgte swap, i was jsut wondering how the car handles in the snow? Especiallly since i will have all that added power that wasnt intended for this car in teh first place. I was planning on using hakkapeliittas snow tires btw.
thanks bigal -------------------- 1994 celica GT.....3sgte in a month! all helpers are welcome!!! i live in Plattsburgh, NY.

There are a lot of FWD and RWD rally cars. Like the old Escorts rwd, the new SRT-4s fwd, and several minis fwd. And it really is driver. I've seen guys in RWD rally cars go up snowy hills with what looks like better grip than the FWD cars they were running against. That made me really think about this whole FWD > RWD in the snow thing. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy
