Drives just like the others, until you punch it. Trust me. [8D]

Before we had all this front wheel drive light *** cars we were forced to drive rear wheel drive heavy cars that handled in dry weather worse then todays car do in rain or snow. Winter driving with a rear wheel drive car is to easy.
you just have to respect the vehicle. To many people rely on traction assist and front drive and antilock and therefore there skills lack the most when needed. I encourage everyone to take a defensive driving course and for most it will lower your insurance cost. The best one I ever went to was ADAC in Germany and because of it I have saved 15% anually on my rates.

Obviously these S197's are better in the snow than the SN95's were?? My 05 GT will thankfully never see the snow thanks to my daily driver but I remember when I didn't have a daily driver and trying to drive that 2000 GT was darn near impossible!! Iused to dread that a light would turn red because if it did and I had to stop all the car would do was spin when I tried to move again. Of course I had 3.73 gears and 285's on the rear so I am sure that didn't help!
