Supras are pretty decent winter cars. I've been saying that for a while now. It's all in tire choice.

A good set of winter tires, plus the LSD, plus the fact that the supra is a BOAT. It always gets traction, unless of course you hit the gas pedal.

Im sure the fact that its a RWD car going uphill makes a difference as well...

soryy but idk what lsd is.... besides the drug that is.

what is lsd?

 

[Chrisfrom1986]

Limited Slip Differential.

Sandbags + Supra in snow FTW.

Haha. I was talking in general, but you are correct. That would have helped a lot.




LSD = Limited Slip Differential. What this means is one wheel will NOT just spin. Either both of them spin, or none of them spin. This makes getting stuck a little harder, as if one wheel doesn't have traction, the other wheel will move the car. As opposed to no LSD where if one wheel doesn't have traction, it just spins, and the car goes nowhere.

On the downside, you can break BOTH wheels loose quite easily with a little addition of power I swear at every light, my car goes sideways a little before it goes straight through.

I always wondered why.

lol, isn't that the truth.

Momentum.

Lots of weight to get moving. So you hit the gas, and because of the LSD, you overpower BOTH wheels, your rear-end now has no traction, and it just slides down teh natural curve of the road.

Momentum implies movement no?

Im talking from a dead stop on flat pavement.

When I say momentum I mean the car's going to resist the force applied to it to get it moving.

 

[cry4me_sky]

that makes sense.... that is probably why i went the whole freking way up the hill sideways... i was iimpressed with myself...

yesterday i tried it again and had to stop mid hilll because my sister was sledding down it.... i backed up and did it again and made it... after honking at my sister and her friend to move.... because that time i was going to run them over.

Don't you mean inertia not momentum?

 

[annoyingrob]

Don't you mean inertia not momentum?

Yes, yes I do.... I think..... I don't know.

Whatever term is correct.
