j1mb0b1 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Snow + ice + supra = not good, Went out in mine other night was going up an hill in high gear, It spun up back end kicked out I lost all my speed, Then could not get going again I even tryed just pulling the clutch up slowly and letting it pull away on its own steam, But it still started wheel spinning was not going anywhere, I even got out of the car stud there watching back wheel just spin by there selfs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra-mike1984 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Facelift TT Manuals have it as that's what mine is but i'm not sure about other models sorry The Tiptronic facelifts have it too. A lot scarier trying to use it in an Auto than a Manual though, my last Supra almost killed me many times at junctions when the car decided to engage it halfway pulling out of a Junction, power completely dies! Drives a lot better with the 6-Speed manual box, i happily take on the Snow and Ice daily in mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I think we've found the auto's main weakness, driving in very cold conditions without a clutch renders it useless like I've found recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Snow mode works a treat for me. It simply closes the TC in the throttle so that you can only get minimum air in there at any one time. Got me out of a few carparks and up a few dodgy hills. The only thing I haven't managed is to get up the slope to my garage as I can't get any momentum going into it on full lock. Poor supra is sitting out in the snow. Getting salt today to get it in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyP Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I've got snow mode. It's called leave the supra where it is and take my van instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I've driven the Supra in all weather including snow and ice for years... Traction control off. Some of you lock the Supra up for the year whenever the temperature drops to single digits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGX Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Pah! Don't make me laugh! Why have snow mode when you can have flight mode! Silence Ground Walkers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
