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.

I definitely agree that it all comes down to the driver. Many rally cars used rear wheel drive. All though you sacrifice traction, it gave the rally car driver the ability to "dance" when sliding through turns. Not sure but I think Carlos Sainz said this when the Celica rally car became AWD.
The bugs handle great in the snow for a few reasons. They are RR which just puts more weight on the tries (great for traction), They have air cooled engines (great for cold weather), and bad ass heaters! IMO with the FF set up our Celica's actually handle quite well in the snow. But chains and or Studded snow tires will help. --------------------  |
