my point was to people who drive their v's in winter on summer tires and complain about how bad it is in such weather.
he drove his car to work so why would i be talking about him? i drive my car in our winters get where i have to get to.

If you were directing that towards me, and I'm sure you were, Dallas gets snow once or twice every third year. Once it does snow the whole city pretty much shuts down. For me to go get snow tires would be retarded. Especially when I can take the SRX if I need to.

Haha, the non-V is my mom's car so she gets the garage by default. I just like the irony of it all, she just finished getting the car about a month ago too.
This is my third winter with the V, I had the stock run-flats for the first time around and it wasn't all that bad. I've been using Blizzaks for the past two and they've been doing their job well.

I have been driving the V in the winter for 4 years now and not had too
many issues, start in 2nd if needed in deep snow.
A good pair of snow tires and a bag of sand in the tire well works wonders.

They've built a few 600+hp V2s. Steve is the owner and a really cool guy. Give him a call and he'll give you a few ideas of what they can do with your car. 817-750-2000 steve@snlperformance.com
All I can say is there is another street friendly V1 easily over the 500/500 mark at the wheels.
