Well, we got hit with a nice winter storm in Toronto last night, about 10-20CM, depending where u were in the city, over night. Any ways, we brought the coupe back this weekend. It was my frist time driving an ST/our ST/a celica w/o ABS in the snow. I personaly have to say, driving her ST in the snow is ALOT easier then driving my GTS. We only have all seasons on her car, but still, i found it much easier. The ST can actually accelerate somewhat in the snow, where as in my GTS, the amount of torque it has allows me to spin the tires really easily. The ST also handels alot better in the snow then my GTS *only difference in suspension mods is i have a better front strut bar and better endlinks and the obvious that i also have a hatch and she has a coupe*. It brakes better/eaiser, it turns better, it doesnt slide as much...well....it doesnt slide as much coming to a stop, but around corners i had the back end kickout a bit. But i think the BEST thing about driving an ST w/o abs in the snow is...the ABS doesnt come on every freakin second! lol Thats deffinatly one thing i absolutely hate about driving my GTS in the winter. Every time u put the slightest bit of pressure on the brakes, ABS comes on, anoyes the crap out of you for 10 seconds and does absolutly nothing. You pretty much look at the pedal in my GTS and the ABS comes on. As much help as the ABS is suppost to be, it just get really f*ckin anoying. You just wanna slow down like half a mile per hour, your ABS comes on. You cover your brake to just make the light come on to make sure the person behind u knows to slow down a bit, the abs comes on.

Personaly, i feel that the ST is sooo much more easier to drive in the snow then the GT. I want to know what you guys think though. Am i the only one who feels this way? or is it somethin that other people have noticed as well.
