Your snow is much wetter than mine... I try to drift in snow (downshift and everything) and all it does is go, uh...

TURN!

And I get no sliding. About the only way for me to slide is on snowpack or ice...

yea, its hard to get it going...it doesnt wanna really slide when you have it fully turned...drifting it isnt too hard when you start out slow and give it power, and when it does spin in circles...im floored and staying at VERY low RPM...i need more power and the LSD rear end.


On the other hand, this thing is GREAT in the snow, when you are looking for it to just drive...i really feel this car could climb icy hills like a 4wd truck, lol

I enjoy watching trucks spin or have trouble while I just drive right by... of course, in California, most of the 4wd trucks have mud/sand setups that suck in snow and cold weather.

Oh man, it needs to snow here... Its been dry in the mountains for more than a month!

Done properly, a mud rig will perform just as well in snow... Those Cali 4x4 guys just can't get anything right these days.

You're tellin' me about the lack of snow! We've only gotten one good one so far this season...

Another, you can see a little how ruff it is to get it in the sweet spot to start spinning...drifting around isnt too hard to do, but i have a tiny parkinglot. lol

I pulled my dads Suburban out of a ditch with mine when I first got the car, before I started modding it of course.
