benkei Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 How many of you drive your Supras in the snow? How well does it handle the snow/ice/shite conditions? I know I was ALWAYS shite scared driving the MR2 in the snow, and that was VERY twitchy! It was incredibly stressful throughout the entire journey... I didn't like it at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I drove the white supra, now owned by supraturbochris, a couple of years back. It had snow tyres on (was a daily) about an inch of snow and the usual slush on the main roads. It was fine, granted it twitched the odd once or twice but i was quite suprised how planted it actualy felt. This was at normal speeds and driven in a relaxed manor, no doubt if i had give it a bit it wouldnt of been quite the same but i thought it was ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 As long as I can keep moving forward it's ok, it's when you get to the end of a road, slow down and slide into the curb and cannot get out, that's when it's really crap. Happened last time it snowed earlier this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckler Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 How many of you drive your Supras in the snow? How well does it handle the snow/ice/$#@!e conditions? I know I was ALWAYS $#@!e scared driving the MR2 in the snow, and that was VERY twitchy! It was incredibly stressful throughout the entire journey... I didn't like it at all I've driven my supra (TT6) in the snow quite a few times now... was a little bit twitchy - in 6th gear on idle and backend was fish tailing about... but personally I wasnt too fussed about it, my girlie wanted to get out and walk home...

kjgreen3 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I have no problem in the snow, I take it very steady turn the heating on full and go back to bed Light surface snow in sheffield this morning not going to take the supra based on the fact its a jspec and slightly lower ride height coupled with the fact that some speed humps will be non-visible and sccrrapppee! there goes my bottom end. Will be taking the Suzuki Sh*tara to work - 4 wheel drive will be a godsend if it continues to snow like it has down south even if its running richer than Richard 'I'm a little bit rich' Branson. Will be replacing the O2 sensors on that at some point too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meko Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 i was drifting round the estate at about 10mph. I could handle that, it's having to climb in through the boot at the tiniest hint of it being cold that does my head in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Having once lost the back end on a roundabout in the snow and headbutting the armco barrier, trust me it's not the mechanical and financial pain you suffer but also the humiliating embarrassment of having to drive a courtesy Micra with Nationwide Accident Repair slapped all over it.
