How do mustangs drive in snow?
i recently purchased a SN95 Stang GT 5.0 and i was just curious as too how this bitch drives in the snow..i live in new york city so driving in the snow is to be expected....would i need to buy tires? It drives pretty bad in the rain with some pretty good hydroplaning, i would assume it sucks *** in the snow as well..LOLLL oh well..
btw..for those of you curious... http://i1.ebayimg.com/04/i/07/12/9d/64_3.JPG thats the car...bought it awhile ago, its awesome.

with the right tires it'll be fine. If you dont want 2 pairs of tires and want it to be really good in the snow get yourself a set of Dunlop Winter Sport M3s, and u can drive them year around 
) Otherwise just get some good all seasons and take it easy

RE: How do mustangs drive in snow?
yea i figured...its 2 inches lower than a stock SN95 so that will just make it worse....i am looking for ways to maybe improve winter driving since more than likely ill be driving it durin winter time... i may invest in snow tires...but are there any other alternatives, besides chainin up the tires?

RE: How do mustangs drive in snow?
drove the 93 in the snow in february when i first got it.
wasnt too bad, had to feather it on turns and going down hills.
you just got to be extra cautious. my 5.0 is probably getting parked for the winter.
i plan to restore it and salt doesnt help that
