Well on my way to class today witch I am in right now I had some fun on my ride there. We got some ice and then some snow just starting before I left for class and with now plows out yet the roads were nice and slick.
I am finding out on my EP it am letting the rear end slid out when ever I do a sharp turn, and I think that is because of the crap stock tires and me going a little to fast. I have to say it does not bug me at all that this happends since it is easy to control are car when there rear end is lose. But I did have fun in a S turn.
When into the first part of the turn ok but when I got out of the second turn and just leaving the S my rear end went and my front had not grip at all. So I was sliding into the other lane but since I was back roading I was lucky since there was no other trafic. I got sideways enought that I had a good look at the the ditch and had figured out were I wanted to land my EP if I did not get it under control. But I just did a small tap on the brakes and with the weight going foward on the car the front got grip and I was able to catch up with the rear and went on my way. After it was ok I do have to say it was a lot of fun reminded me of my last season of racing at my local oval track were I love runing a lose race car.
I have found a few things that are good with are EP in snow. With some what lose just off the rear just turn into the rear end to catc up with it and most of the time you do not have to let off the gas. When you get very lose were the front end is going just let off the gas and tap the brakes very lightly to bring some weight to the front and you can get traction back. The key is though not to much brake at all though because you will go for a loop.
I do have to say these tires suck. I am watching a lot of cars that can handle a turn just as fast as me but they do not slid.
If you want to have fun with you ep find and empty parking lot and go sliding with you ep. For some reason this car is even a lot of fun in the snow.
