    Usually if I just turn t/c off and drop it in second and nudge my way out and it works... Sometimes you just dig yourself in if you floor it without any momentum. If I cant nudge my way out, I start going back and forth until I break free.

    These cars can get the front wheels to spin pretty good on dry pavement, so just learn to ease into or blip the throttle and ease back steadily when you feel the tires break loose.

    Yeah turning off the T/C does seem to help. Other then the snow the traction is really good.
