you guys must suck at driving i dont want to sound like an ******* but i got through the snow fine. i had to drive home in the middle of a blizzard there must have been 4 inches of snow already and it was only snowing for 2 hours took me 2 hours to get home when it should take 15 min but i made it up one steep *** hill i just sat back and counter steered my way passed all the front wheel drive cars that were stuck while the 4 wheel drive cars and trucks where hauling *** past me. all im saying is when there is a light dusting go out and find a parking lot have fun with it thats the only way you learn to control your car in the snow thats how i learned

but ya my dad taught me right, first we went to a parking lot with a lil snow and he told me to just cruise around and do what ever to get a feel for it, given i was in an AWD mountaineer, but then we did a front wheel drive car, my moms accord, then the rx-7 and ya.. big difference between the 3 but after some practice i was good. so go do some drifting and doughnuts, but whatch out for the light poles
lol

RE: mustangs in snow
Light snow is doable if you know what youre doing. Feather it and go just fast enough to keep moving. And watch those brakes!
93 GT with AOD, 3.73 and low tread G-force KDWS.... an inch of powder and still falling with some slush under it. Stuck her in 3rd the whole way home which is normally a 10-15 minute trip. Took me almost an hour. No problem until i turned onto my street, right rear tire slid and i got stuck. A couple in a Silverado got me out. He and i pushed while his wife hit the gas. You shouldve seen the smile on her face when she got out. Me and my baby got home safely but the same could not be said for my left rear tire. Sidewall split wide open a few days later.
Dang noreasters. I can live without em.
I did the empty parking lot in the snow to. Fun. But yea, watch out for those poles, and any cops patrolling the area. I was just leaving as one came around the corner. A nieghbor mustve called them because the cop was spotting the area. Lucky me.

RE: mustangs in snow
My brother just got back to bothell from bellevue. Took him 8 hrs to go 20 miles cause there were so many accidents on 405. And its not just snow HACKGT350 Its compacted ICE. I live in bothell and had to go to the store (cause I needed BEER) when the power went out for like 2 hours. I drove my Honda SPREE! ROFL Ended up hitting the brakes and doing a 180 and sliding 40 ft stopping 3 feet shy of hitting a COP who was out of his car at an accident. He was pissed...Asked me " what the HELL are you doing out here??" Had to let me go though cause I stayed in my lane and didnt hit anything, he was a bit pissed to say the least. AAHhhhh good times on the old scooter...

RE: mustangs in snow
Ya this is the first AWD car I have owned, and I am hooked, its amazing how well those cars handel in the snow. Don't get me wrong there is nothing better than a high horse power rwd car for the summer but in the snow the talon is actually fun to drive (when it is running and not in the shop!!)
