Ice Driving! Which engine layout is best?
Best I have ever driven on Ice is my studded up 4x4 3/4 ton chevy. I could nail it from stop and go like mad, but it wouldn't stop any better than anything else.
ICE is hard to drive on no matter what you are driving, slow & smooth, put trans Neutral when stopping before applying brakes.
I have driven 4x4, front wheel drive and rear wheel drive on ice without any real problems, but I grew up driving rwd cars. Had snow tires on the cragers on the back of my 69 Roadrunner in Highschool.
Studded tires make driving on ice much better, but outlawed in a lot of areas.
Back in the day eveyone had snow tires and knew how to drive. today people expect the goverment to have the roads cleared and snow & ice free so tey can drive posted speed limit at all times.
Anyone need a set of 13" sbp wheels with studded snow tires? have a couple of sets. My 67 Dart converible had a set in the trunk when I bought it and a 68 Barracuda fastback has a set or two in the car when I bought it.
Best to stay home when there is an ICE STORM
