Stang Vs. Snow

FireHawk · October 25th, 2007, 03:23 PM

Well my first mustang winter is approaching (actually first winter with RWD). I heard the mustang sucks in winter, but I don't really care since I can't afford a new vechile currently.

Anyway......

I was planning on having my car dropped a bit (Eibach Pro Kit), and I was wondering if I would be alright with snow clearance....The mustang doesn't sit way low so I thought I might be alright but I then again it is a RWD car in snow...

your better off buying a beater for the winter.

these cars are BAD in snow.

RhadCundell · October 25th, 2007, 03:25 PM

as little as i know
ill still throw in my 2 cents..
id say to wait till spring..
better safe then sorry..
ya know

and its my first winter as well

I know in the really bad snow my dad might let me drive his Ram this winter. Currently looking for a cheap Grand Prix but tight on cash....Next winter I will have another car in the winter.

HMUSN · October 25th, 2007, 03:27 PM

store the car and drive the truck dude..

whitemustang02 · October 25th, 2007, 03:28 PM

ya if u r going to drive it in the winter i would wait on the springs till after winter
that way u get 1 under ur belt with the best posibal condistions
also i don't know if u have any but u need NEED! snow tiers so if u don't have any that should be ur next buy

FireHawk · October 25th, 2007, 03:28 PM

I will only be able to drive truck on bad ice since my dad will have to drive the company truck when it snows bad

Trying to talk my dad in to lending me money for snow tires if I don't get his truck all winter :p

i've driven my car in the snow, and while yes, it's a complete pain in the ass, as long as you're very careful and cautious and you think ahead, you'll be perfectly fine.Jus take your time in the snow if you're going to be driving in it. Plus it helps to weigh down the back end a lot...

Hourofpain · October 25th, 2007, 03:33 PM

it all depends. In va
Fuck tht there isnt shit here.

Up north where i used to live in pa.

id either get a really good set of snow tires or id buy a 4 cylinder mazda truck.

RhadCundell · October 25th, 2007, 03:35 PM

i live in ohio
with nothing else to drive
like i said in a post before..
i think im puttin mine in my uncles barn
but them im carless =[

This is going to be my first winter also when you put traction control on does it help much in the snow?

RhadCundell · October 25th, 2007, 03:37 PM

i heard tration control is horrible
my uncle lost a mustang due to traction control..
yet he bought another..lol

Hourofpain · October 25th, 2007, 03:38 PM

ohio.?
hmmm

if you stay in the stang remember to get a lower viscosity oil so your you can avoid hard starts

N29468 · October 25th, 2007, 03:41 PM

Lol i will still try it this winter. I'd like to test the difference

yep VA stays pretty clear for the most part except one winter a few years back the little i live in like froze over while i was out in it...u think snow is fun...how bout driving on straight ice

N29468 · October 25th, 2007, 04:02 PM

Yea Chicago isnt the best place to have a mustang but i can handle it.

99v6stang · October 25th, 2007, 04:19 PM

Ok i live in northern wisconsin and i drove my mustang all last year without a problem. I put 100 lbs of sand in the trunk and the car did just fine, but i would wait till spring to lower it.

whitemustang02 · October 25th, 2007, 05:01 PM

and you need traction controle on
hell with 245 tiers and on drie condtions my bank end gets loos in the summer with TC off so i woulent even think about not having it in the winter
