It was ironic because I was looking for winter tires for my red P5 when I saw this.

There are a number of other pictures but if you reload a bunch of times you will get the P5.

Welcome to the 23657245efg362357th thread about it! Enjoy your stay!

P5's do kick ass... and they love to eat snow.

Man, I love my P5. Its just unreal wicked awesome to drive. It don't have the power, but it handles so well in all weather......amazing. BUT, I don't like to be poor. I WANT HI-BOOST!!!!

So, you're saying a P5 is good in the snow? Better than a V6 Acclaim?

[RyanJayG]

a few pipes, air filter, ARP head studs, some fittings, silicone couplings, FMIC.. etc... not the beefy stuff yet... its still at ceramic coating.

Um in a word, no.

If you have snow tires, it's better.

But for the most part, the P5 is so light and has such hard tires that in snow it just doesn't perform very well. Even though it's fwd, there's way too much wheel hop, and turning brings me back to the days of my 85 cadillac. The rear end fishtails very easily as well. So it might be a good idea to pick up some sand bags or something and put them in the passenger row (that's my plan this winter at least - a good 4 40lb bags might do some help!)

:lol: I drive a 1992 Plymouth Acclaim V6. It's the best car I've ever driven, you've ever driven, he's ever driven, anyone's ever driven in the snow. When I finally buy a P5, I'll remember to do that.
