Hey all,
no pics in this post just a comment. ESP is one heck of an invention I tell ya; for something that kinda irritates me in dry weather it sure earns it's keep in the snow!
Unless you are really doing something "snow dumb" it is hard to imagine not being in control! ...I know none of us are speeders on this forum, especially me so all should be good.;)

Are you AWD or Rear? I tell yeah, If you have tank treads for tires you might be ok, but I just couldn't drive her again in the snow. I put my R/T in the garage for the winter and picked up a 95 Jimmy AWD just to get around town. Now we are -10 below right now and got 24" of snow in 1 1/2 days so I think any car has a problem. In light snow it did ok, but any ice and or heavy snow, forget it. It really is all about tires. What do you drive on?
I did the same thing and drove my other car and left the charger sitting. I waited for all the snow to melt off of it before I drove it again. We got 26" in 2 days and I wasn't about to take a chance driving it.

Yeah, I kept my '96 Eclipse convertible for my "winter" car. It's not bad for summer either. haha I'm not so much worried about driving in what little snow we get here in NC, I'm worried about all the people here that can't drive period, let alone in snow. LOL So when the snow falls, it gets parked.

Cool! Glad to hear you are getting around ok in the snow! I personally keep mine stored for the winter. I know a good set of winters help alot on these cars.

Hey all ... sorry for missing the responses to my post. I am running the factory Continentals and have had no issues. Granted we have not had anything close to severe weather but so long as I drove like it was slippery it did better than I ever expected. She's RWD for those asking... the only car I had that did a better job was a Sunfire I had back in 2002.
I plan on getting winters next year ... nothing we can do about the other knobs on the road though eh?

My Charger with a 3.5 in it, is the best car I've ever driven in snow!

That is a great feature if you have to drive under harsh weather conditions! I had a '91 5.0 mustang with no traction or yaw control. You could barely drive that car on wet roads.

A couple of snow flurries and I don't leave the house. Not because I can't drive in the snow or because Diablo can't handle it, it's the other people that think they can still do 50 or 60 on a snow covered road.
