Driving my 1987 Camaro 2.8L in the snow. Short video, but it was all I could get right now since it's getting dark. More to come! (if it snows again)


Here's the URL:

I know this is not the best video out there, but I thought I would give everyone something to do between tech questions/answers. Hope you enjoy!

not really. compared to my cavalier these things are terrible. and my cavalier sucks in snow. my sister has a 4wd s10 and that thing is impressive. my dad has a duramax 6 speed manual (4wd of course) and that thing is amazing. its a truck you could go ditch riding in. when the ditches are full of snow lol.

Yeah, it's not the best, but for being RWD it's better than most.

I usually drive a 91 GMC Suburban 2500 when it snows, but I felt like taking out my Camaro for a little fun.

yea right, be careful doing that. last time i did that in the snow i was staring at the ditch through my front windshield. scary, but fun. you gotta try the clutch kick sometime. its pretty self explanatory. kick the clutch quick and it'll get you into a slide.

Yeah, for some reason I suck in the rain. Gone into a ditch in the rain, but I can drive in snow like I have racing slicks on a 150* F tarmac track. An exaggeration I know.
