DR's and snow dont mix!
 
I got stuck in a snow storm in king george on my way back home, and there was a little ice patch under a blanket of snow and lets just say I didn't see it. I know my exhuast is screwed but I think everything else is fine. heres a pic.

Really? We only have two inches up here and maybe half inch on the roads.

Oh and to the original poster... FABOC.... Cobras or Camaros, same acronym.

It can mean corvette's, cobra's, camaro's, etc. I don't have anything against cobras they're great cars if I had the money I would buy one I just don't like my brothers. lol

I dont even trust drag radials in the rain, one deep puddle and your hydroplaning.

Do you think it's just the catback? A new Magnaflow is cheap and easy to install, if thats all you damaged you made out pretty well.

Been there, done that. Very scary deal.

ScreaminRedZ Mar 2, 2009 08:19 AM

That sucks, but if it's just the catback that's damaged then that's a good thing! Good luck getting it fixed up.

SnakeSlayinZ Mar 2, 2009 10:35 AM

I think the catback if fine. its the y-pipe that took most of the hit. Now I can buy the headers that I've been wanting.

goodluck with the car....another person here who has only driven his car twice since thanks giving

PewterScreaminMach Mar 2, 2009 12:01 PM

Damn, that sucks. At least it's just he exhaust. Definitely could have been a lot worse. x2 on the no drag radials in the rain, nevermind snow. Hell, I don't even like driving on street tires in the rain and forget about driving at all in the snow with these cars.

omcar Mar 2, 2009 12:01 PM

Mine slid off the road last year in rain ..this year I changed my tires for the winter. racin' in 1 month :)

Tracer X Mar 2, 2009 12:34 PM

That sucks man! Hope you didn't damage too much.

itsslow98 Mar 2, 2009 12:59 PM

sucks but could have been worse, i cant stand to not dive my car for that long, of course mine isn't a race car by any means but it has seemed to do well the two times I have driven the V in the snow. I used to drive the SS with bald BFg's in the rain all the time and never once had a problem.

Now that's my kind of thinking!

It's obvious you are a teenager and still impervious to peril.

MdFormula350 Mar 2, 2009 07:04 PM

My nitto dr's arent too good in the snow :bang: Very dangerous for me, the car, and other people.

I didnt get stuck in this snow storm however a previous one got me and it was hell the whole way, barely getting up very slight hills I was all over the place.

They are decent in the rain at least for my type of stock hp range, I wouldnt go carve corners and hit the gas alot in it, but I daily drive on them.

Now I put on my old stock rims and tires to get me through the snow.
