any problems in the snow? i see you're in ontario! i'm in toronto, and am contemplating the purchase of a 944S/951. just curious how snow-worthy they are - it looks like you're running dedicated snow tires (people here are crazy to think they can get away with all-seasons in the winter!).

thanks.

Well Saturday I thought I'd pull it out to run it and charge the battery before it starts to really snow. I keep the battery in my basement so it doesn't freeze.

And, YES, those are 16 phonies off a turbo, and they are in good shape. I'd like to sell them and the original 15 inchers for some cup 1s.

44s do great in the snow, I dont have LSD so when I get on a sheet of ice, the tire that has the least traction spins, and it cant decide which one to use so it switches back and forth and back and forth. Makes for an interesting ride.

Does the LSD tend to do better in questionable conditions? I'm about to weather my first winter with a 944, and I'm hoping that the LSD will help out at least a touch...
