Sledding....
Took the C4S out for a bit of fun in the snow this afternoon....
Perfect conditions in my hood with roads plowed to a nice hard-packed snow, no salt or melt applied. Pilot Aplins grip nicely, even under significant power from a stand-still I found it hard to lose grip in these conditions. Actually, the 4S handles really really well in these conditions!
I also found a nice spot and took some time to do donuts for a bit, got the feel for the AWD with PTM on and off. My 9 yr old took some video - i'll try to post it later. This is my first 911, actually had a tough time getting good consistent circles! Kids thought it was the coolest thing tho!!!!

Here's a few more pics.... Sorry for the smallish, crummy photos. I took caps from the iPhone vid. Not sure the rest is worth posting. Should have had someone over the age of 10 holding the phone! lol
Yes, it was tricky with AWD. Honestly, nothing like throwing a camaro or vette into endless loops. The fronts kept biting-in and pulling me out of the donut. Turned PTM off, that was a little "better". I didn't thrash it too hard... I had that little angel guy on my shoulder reminding me that I just got this toy, and wouldn't it suck to hit a curb or something?
Anyways, if I can get the video formatted right, I'll post.
Enjoy!

The problem is you're in a tight little cul de sac. You need to get into much faster, larger radius curves or esses where the rear mass comes into play more. The 4S will hang it out there just fine, you just need to be going faster. Any frozen lakes nearby?
