The E-Brake is NOT for emergencies.

 

drive fast, take chances, eat yellow snow, pull in front of overloaded semi trucks an jam on the brakes, pull into a vallet lot, toss the keys to the attendant and say "there you go a--hole, no tip, [sm=happybounce.gif]

 

fixed

 

seriously, if you really want to find out what your car is capable of, wait for some snow or find a big gravel parking lot, turn off the traction control and go crazy. You'll have a ball. I won't buy a front wheel drive car personally. Good luck and be carefull at the same time.

 

Thanks, Buddy.

 

LOL......you are certainly welcome. Sorry to disagree, but if you know how to use it, the ebrake can save your life. Any of the good defensive/protection driving courses teach it extensively.

 

True, that's what a forum is for

 

Do you guys floor it off of every stoplight in the rain?

This car is no different to me than others in the rain. Its pretty good acutally.

 

A lot of the rain problems are due to those nasty assPirellis they put on the GT

 

Yet those 17" Pirelli'sare still a big improvement over the 16" BFG's on the V6's. You need good tires for inclement weather that are properly inflated. If you plan to regulary drive in snow, then I suggest getting a set (that's 4) of real snow tires. I putfour Pirelli Sotto's on a set of take-off Bullitts, and the car handled great in the snow.

Best driving tip? - slow down
