Well its been somewhat warm lately and all the snow melted. Then Its been raining a little. Anyways today the weather changed and the wet ground froze up like crazy and we got about 3/4 inch of snow with crazy slippery ice under it. It hasnt been this slippery all year IMO.
Keep in mind I have bald ass tires now! I only had a prob in one spot all the way home. The TCS keep the car straight and moving and probably saved my ass a couple times!lol! I couldnt beleive the car drove as well as it did. That shit really works!
In my F-bodies I always turned it off but the vette worked 10x better than I thought it would!!! There were cars stuck everywhere (no joke) but the Vette just kept trucking on!
Im impressed! Very Impressed!!!!!!
Becareful to anyone in the area tonight its bad!!!!!!
Thought I would share!

Yeah, the Vette's have got good systems. Mine has pwned me a few times, most notably a couple of times at the strip doing a burnout.

It's the third pass. What sucks is I got my best launch (third track launch in an IRS car EVER) at a 1.90 short time, and was headed straight for about an 11.7 or so, and due to NOT heating the tires, they just broke loose at the top of 1st and all of 2nd.

It is. Windows Movie Maker FTW.

I've got a good vid of me doing a burnout at Montgomery Motorsports Park here:

Probably the cleanest burnout I've ever done.
