There's nothing wrong with RWD in the snow if you know how the vehicle is going to react. Put my Mulletmobile in the snow and I can tell you exactly what will happen...it won't go...or if it does it'll become VERY tail happy without lots of weight added.Quote:

I lost traction at WOT around a slight curve on dry pavement in 4th at 100mph with my sticky 11" wide rear meats...I think I'd have more than a few problems in the snow. LOLQuote:

i'll be getting a silver set. they don't do the dolphin grey in 20s unless i pay like a $450 up charge for getting them powder coated another color. i'll keep it classy with silver on silver.
But it looks.
So.
Good.
