It's probably a very good thing that the throttle response has moved to the more normal side of the spectrum. I was imagining winter driving as being a little precarious.
Agreed and you know what I'm talking about first hand.. As it is Blizzaks or studded tires may be mandatory. Most certainly so if I decide to drop in some 3.73 gears and some Detroit True-Tracs... If it's availible for the 8 1/4.
