I drove my supra in the snow..ONCE

scariest shit ever

I now have a twin turbo soarer (1jz, r154, rwd) I drive it everyday in the snow and no problems with my bridgestone blizzaks winter tires..

I think it all comes down to the tires..the supra is very similar to the soarer

Fixed for ya.:biglaugh:

I've probably driven more than you are of age. ;) I have driven all kinds of vehicles and front wheel is the best. AWD is obviously better but we're not talking about that.

You don't wanna mess with my posts, be nice. ;)

It's all in good fun ;).I have owned 53 vehicles since I started driving,16 years ago.IMO there are a lot of other factors that affect seasonal driveability.I have had several FWD cars that just plain sucked in the snow,even w/snow tires,but same goes for some of the RWD cars.Personally,between the two,I would take a RWD w/a tight posi rear end and good snow tires any day.

I know you're joking. ;) as am I.

I should also mention that it is not only the FWD but also the driver. I have always gotten where I needed to go in a FWD. :)

RWD, different story.

I had a '93 bonneville that was incredible in the snow,but my prelude and accord sucked bad.My mk3's didn't do all that well,but being lowered didn't help.Every mk2 I had did great,as do my old cressidas(except on the red & white one when I got lazy and left my 18's on.Wide,35 series tires don't do well in the snow)Best RWD car I had in the snow was a '77 Pontiac phoenix,thing was just unstoppable.

That sled would be nice in the snow. :biglaugh: I will still stick to my high school FWD car. :)

yessir, you know a lot of idiots have to be able to drive em in those conditions :arcadefre ;)

we had a buncha snow fall last week and about an inch into it i was road testing a 2.7T S4 quattro. i gave it a little bit of spirit here and there and it's as if the snow wasn't even there. very impressive. if i lived in a snowier area, i'd definetly need one of these awd cars. point and go!:: badger ::
