Anyone drive tuned supras during the winter months

Well I struggled massively in the snow today. Barely managed to get the supra off my driveway and then got stuck on a tiny incline.

 

I find with the automatic, you can't drive slower than a certain speed when the car is cold and revs are high. As soon as I took my foot off the brake (however slowly), the rear wheels turned and the car stayed where it was.

 

So five minutes getting it back on the driveway, then I took the lotus out which handled it fine :)

 

Traction in snow mode, car in manu and in D, works for me and I live on a hill (in a house....which is on a hill)

Mines a daily driver too. Used to have some problems getting up the hill near here as the road cambers towards the curb, the back end keeps wanting to slide towards it!

 

I actually found it easier to drive today with the single than when it hads the stockers in, I guess its got less power down low and smoother torque curve.
