FiaCobra Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Saw this in the local paper today. Bottom line is, no one sustained life threatening injuries. Male driver, female passenger. Note: Temps here are in the low 30's and the roads are covered with sand and salt. I would not drive these cars under those conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobdybob Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Looks like North Shore of Long Island or not. Glad no fatalities. No place for a car like that this time of year. Florida..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Florida and even with mild winters here my Shelby sees a lot less road time during these months, American muscle isn't made for it.. If you want something that can handle the arctic conditions then go with German muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Florida also and this week we have had temps in the 20's and 30's and sleet and possible snow expected Saturday. We must remember these tires aren't rated for temps below 40 degrees.

Its perfect weight distribution, wheelbase, and lack of low end torque make it very stable and predictible. Of course, tires can also make all the difference in the world.

frydguy79 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 drag radial are NOT meant for any colder weather than the stock tires either so play safe with them too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evasive Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 That's why the manual says not to drive it with the stock tires in that cold of weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
