Everytime I see threads like this I think of how my S will be in the garage while I'm out in my FWD winter warrior when we do get a snowfall or two here in VA this winter. I've already put a RWD car into a ditch in the snow...I won't let that happen to the S.

Good thing you weren't born when all you could get was RWD.

I am certain this was all done with the upmost intent on being purely scientific, right xviper?

I had these vids posted in our local forum last year until the server was dumped. It seemed more people from outside of Prairie Redliners were interested in them, so I've posted them up here this time. They are courtesy of a server provided by "VTEXTC". Vids taken courtesy of "Woodson".
Make sure you "right click", "save target as" and view from your folder.

The following is a "drag race" we had in an empty parking lot. 3 brands of snow tires are represented here. My Silverstone was running Blizzak MZ-01's on the rears and Goodrich Winter Slaloms on the front. I was running neck and neck with the black car, which had Michelin Alpins all around. The Sebring Silver car and the Red car both had Blizzak LM-22's all around.


Here is "BlackS2000" doing a reverse rolling 180:


And here's me doing some donuts:


As you can see, this car is quite driveable when snow tires are used and can be a lot of fun in the snow. You just gotta practice a bit to know what the car can do and how to make the car do it. It's hard to see, but the parking lot was mostly covered with about 3"-4" of snow (that is, until we squashed some of it down). We plan to have another "snow drags meet" this winter and if possible, we'll get some more vids of different driving manouvers.

While I'm at it, here's more:
where are the videos please ?
