Post Video : rage2's immature Friday night fun...

A couple of friends wanted to see how my car handles in the snow, so I put on a little show, which was camcordered pretty nice, considering it was -18C. The person filming was complaining of zoom problems with frostbit fingers =).

Took a corner, turbo spooled up, and just pointed my way up the icy hill, bouncing off the rev limiter the whole way.

Don't try this at home kids =).

With that much power you ought to do it in the dry...

I love throttle oversteering 944s, haven't gotten to do it in the turbo yet... It just spins the inside tire when boost hits.

Are studded tires legal in Alberta? Ah, never mind. On your car they'd be gone in a week.

I used to own a Jawa ice racer with studs. Sure helps you practice throttle control technique for the summer.

Good to know I'm not the only one that takes full advantage of the 951 =).

I went with the GNK OEM's. After shipping, taxes, etc, it came to around $650CDN. Went with the entire CV/axel units, both sides. If these ones don't hold, I'll be going with the GNK Motorsports next.
