How are your 6's holidng up in the snow? I find my heavy hatch is performing quite well.

(she also has pretty good manners while doing donuts hehe :cool: )
 
I've got snow tires on, and loving it. Its fun passing all the wussy subbie owners in your fwd sedan.
 
only time I will ever outrun a IS300 and a Police Intercepter! Glad I got the rims and tires from ya before all hell broke loose up here :) I'm climbing iced over hills with lil problem. Never knew this many people who couldn't drive in the snow! How many times have someone almost totaled you so far? I had 3 people blindly pull out in front of me cross traffic mind you and the patent pending "running man" style abs is doing great.

hah... I went out to Herndon to help bill with his civic and we drove around and some of the roads were still unplowed so he'd pull the E-brake and we'd drift around a corner... was pretty fun... he was on stock michs and i had my proxes... good times
 
yeah I had fin with ebrake too...whole row of empty parking spots so I parallel parked sideways! I'm running michelin pilots 1300 miles in...
 
Man that was a blast. I'd pull it all the time and get horribly dissapointed if I wouldn't slide.

The car handled pretty darn well. I also experimented with our normally worthless traction control. I was able to accelerate faster with it on. Go figure.
 
the times we didnt get the rear end to slide out was probably because of the added weight we got from Chipotles.... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm fetus.....
 
lol the 6 is far better than we give credit(except speed6 cause it needs to prove the awd autosnow setting works) Traction control was for moving not freeing yourself from getting stuck. I did w/o it by going to 2nd and converting to SRI
 
I am having loads of fun snow driving, the car handles very well. It's hard to let the rear end to let loose when trying to do donuts in parking lots pulling the e-brake, the tires wont loose there grip unless it is extremely sluchy or icy.

Here are 2 pics of last week-end driving to Ottawa.
