Yeah, no traction in second with Nittos means cold to me. I have to do a burnout just to consider punching it from second gear. And last night I powershifted FOURTH and it got squirrelly for a second.

Man, everyone's getting sick and putting thier cars away! That means winter has begun. I hope those of you driving around aren't ripping around too much. There's definatly patches of ice around, as well as all the snow we have. There's still snow on the roads up by my place!!! And I'm just south of Ringe/Keen NH!
