I drove my car for the first time in a week or so today. Its a cold but dry and sunny day. We've had very cold and snowy recent weather (metro Detroit) and the roads have been salty. I swear I almost lost it when I punched it from a dig. I layed 2 strips of rubber 20 feet long at least. This is an automatic mind you. I was fishtailing most of the way but didn't let up. I had been driving for about 30 min. and just got off the freeway so I know the tires were warmed up. The road was totally dry and straight as a drastrip. My car has always seemed fast but this has put a grin on my face that won't go away. Any comments guys.

 

Yep I have noticed the same thing. It is especially thrilling after driving my 94 F150 for about a week or so!

 

cool, that's one of the reasons we buy these
machines

 

Comment? Yes, why are you driving your baby on salt covered roads? And yes cool dry air does make more HP!

 

I said It was after a couple days of nice dry weather, cold but dry, roads clear of salt.

 

Hey, same here to it out for a spin when the temps were in the 10's and wow, what a difference. Specially after driving my 6 banger Ford Ranger.

 

you want to talk extra power, try driving at -40!! THATS POWER!!............hard to find a nice dry day though!

 

The road may have been dry but it was still coverd in salt. I also live in Michigan and just because the road is dry does not makethe salt gone. It needs to rain a couple of times to wash it off the roads. Just my 2 cents, it's your car do with it want you want.

 

After thinking it over I came to the same conclusion. I took notice of the dust blown up by passing cars and I know it wasn't all dirt, it was also pulverized salt. But I'm not going to stop driving it on sunny days. Its too much fun. Rain and snow I won't drive it.

 

Laying Rubber Good.
