Default Pictures of Turbo's in the SNOW or any extreme conditions!

Post your pictures of your Turbo's in winter/snow/extreme conditions. I'll start with a picture I took this morning, as I headed out after a few inches of snow. I have the michelin alpine snow tires and so far they seem quite good. Looking forward to really testing them out as we hopefully get more snow.

That's awesome! I'll bet people wouldn't be doing that with GT3s!

Nope! I do group text my GT3 friends, texting pictures and reminding them that I'm out driving while their GT3's are in their garages collecting dust!

Looks cold. Plenty of dense air for those turbos to feed.

Yes and the elevation was part of the reason this turbo feels so much faster than my previous gt3

Just got back from a hundred mile mountain snow drive. Car performed flawlessly, did get some strange looks from the truck guys as we stormed past them. This car is meant to be driver year round, rain, snow ect. it's not a freaking peace of jewelry to be starred at and protected. If I wanted that lame experience, I would have gotten a different car brand.

With my Pilot Alpin 4s my 991 TTS has better snow traction than any car I have ever driven

whats the clearance you are getting in the snow?

I can't see it being very much?

The 991.1 Turbo S has 6 inches of ground clearance. It works well on a plowed road or unplowed road with less than 6 inches of snow. Of course it is not a jeep or trunk and cannot handle deep snow

I DD one of these in winter - but mine is blown to just shy of 800 HP...no ground clearance or broken spoilers to worry about and traction to die for in snow!

I took delivery in the snow and this is the day I picked it up at Esoteric after detailing. Wasn't looking as nice by the time I was home.

Default Reindeer adventure

A couple of weeks ago I went out on a winter adventure with my 3yo daughter to look for some reindeer. We didn't come across any b/c I think they were busy with Santa & Christmas training. We did, however come across several buffalo out on the frontier. The area is fantastic for diving b/c it's remote, great curves, & rolling hills.

Will be gladly posting pics of my 991.2 TTS in the snow as it will become my DD in Northern NJ! I'm excited to run it like the tank it is meant to be in the snow, rain, track, etc
