Getting mustang v6 to work in snow good....

MustangV6Man? · November 19th, 2010, 01:20 AM

Winter is coming. I need this car pretty much every day. It's not a garage kept one so I don't care about snow getting on or around it, but the car is dropped and it's a v6 so it still has torque. How can I make this work on snow without spinning out or dying?

Snow tires are your best bet.

It really isn't that bad at all.. Drive like you would drive any other car in the snow

Well my tire tread is good (i think?) and i have no idea if they're snow tires or not. But I do sometimes spin on rain so....

snow tires
weight in the back
feather the pedal

I use studded tires, 120lbs of sand in my trunk and my T-Lok.

It does amazingly well with just those three things. It'll push its way through fresh snow and does amazing on ice and compact snow.

snow tires
salt or kitty litter ( be willing to open them up and get more if you get stuck)
light on the peddle
take the main roads
and go slow

Even if you have good tread on all season tires get snow tires. Theyre different than normal tires. Then sand bags in the back and take plowed roads more often.

Im about to experience the first time in snow soon to, but I got winter rears and A/T front tires. Im also gonna put some more weight in the trunk as well.

+1

Little extra weight (which some of us might do out of habit from trucks, etc) and just use common sense.

dont be scared, I drove my lt1 camaro with no traction control last winter on drag radials

and do not give it very much gas around corners. Go find an icy empty parking lot and practice loosing control and re gaining it, will be helpfull and fun
