My car has no sentimental value to me at all. I put it away because it blows in the winter. Thats also the reason several other people take their Mustangs, Camaro’s, etc off the road and store them in the winter. ---

Your fox body Mustang was also designed in the 1980’s and probably has shitty tires on it that harden up when the mercury drops below 45\*F. Again, apples to oranges. ---

Actually its got good Hankook tires on it and the fox body was developed in the '70’s and introduced in '79. ---

:rofl Even worse, but you get what I was saying. At least I hope so as it’s not a very difficult concept to grasp. Summer tires and even some high performance “all season” tires harden up in cold weather and become useless and rather dangerous, but i’m sure you know that anyway. ---

If your foot is planted at WOT every time you accelerate in the snow, yeah. However, that’s not how intelligent people drive in the snow. REally, power has very very little to do with traction in the snow unless you have some medical condition where you cant control your right foot. Edit: Summer tires and even many all seasons are worthless in snow on any drivetrain layout. ---

I like the “I’m invincible” thoughts in here. I’ve driven plenty of RWD vehicles in the snow. Probably the vehicle I’ve driven most is an Xterra, 2wd, traction control off, and with minor throttle you are spinning the tall winter tires. I wish you luck, but it is not going to be a cake walk like you think it is. ---
