Doesn't sound like there's much going on here in winter. I've been searching around this site for months and finally pulled the trigger on an '04 VR GT 6sp from Morrie's 4 months ago (great winter car with Blizzak LM22's). Im in Plymouth, where are you??

That definately sounds like a plan. I am currently home shopping, so I'm tightening up the wallet on getting new wheels for the car but I definately will be getting something in the near future.
But yeah, we should all set something up as soon as Summer hits or when we know the snow is finally gone!

As you guys know, it snowed a little today. Enough so that the side roads were slippery. and I got to see how these tires would perform and I must say, I was quite impressed. It's still easy to be a little quick on the gas and fish tail in 2nd even but if you drive conservatively like you're supposed to in the snow, car does fairly well. Nothing like my previous Audi of course, but still...a lot better than my 350Z did last year in the snow..

DSC observations...
I have had 2 RX-7s which did not have DSC, loved winter, could throw them around corners, very predictable handling.
I have been driving my 1st winter in the RX8 with the DSC on, and am not sure I totally like it. Whenever I forget it is on-I go for a planned slide, and it kicks in abruptly. :shakes fist:
Othertimes, I expect it to go off, and it when it does, it is way later than I anticipated.
The overall experience is less predictable than I am used to.
I think it has something to do with steering angle and speed if I remember correct from my training class.
I know I am not quite used to the RX8 all together yet - but there is my initial reaction to DSC.
Still the car I thought it was and more.
(I am on winter tire - Blizzaks for those that were wondering)
