Default Re: Pulley/Intake/Tune in the snow review...

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Had dinner with a friend a couple years ago, and while I was in the restaraunt, Denver decided to have a quick ice storm. Too bad I had driven to the restaraunt in my 500 hp, 500 tq 2004 cobra. Incidentally, I also had Michelin PS2's on that car when it happened. There is a reason why their snow traction rating is listed as "N/A (not applicable)". LOL!


What a nightmare. I also had to drive home using geography that night. If I hadn't figured out a route across town that was all downhill to my house, I would have had to sleep in my car on a roadside somewhere.

My SRT-6 with the Continental All Seasons is quite suprisingly good in the snow, however. I powered up a VERY steep hill near my house that was covered with snow and ice a couple days ago. The traction control light flashed a few times, and slowed me down, but it kept chugging, much to my delight! With dedicated snow tires on this car, it would be an absolute dream in the snow, I'm betting. But, all this is before the intake and pulley. Hehe.
