Thumbs up to a Newport /Jamestown Cruise...I got my Lobster Bib ready.
Does the traction control light blink when it feels like it's running out of gas? Even when you have the traction control turned off it still comes back on when your wheels start spinning which causes it to cut engine power and it does make it feel like it's stalling or running out of gas. I have winter tires on mine, but being so light in the back the rear tires still lose traction easily that's why I was thinking of adding some weight in the back. Your roadster has an extra 80 pounds more than the coupe that helps in the snow. Plus mine being a srt with more torque and power doesn't help me any either.
