The FRS is a tank in the snow or ice with proper winter tires. I put 1,000 kilometers a week on my FRS through the worst winter can throw at me and have not had a single incident. Not one. Traction control will save your ass in slippery conditions. Knowing how to hang the tail out in the dry will not help if you are sliding in the ice or snow no matter what you think your skills are.
People PLEASE do not listen to this joker! He will get you killed.

You are mistaken. Tire engineering has moved on a long way since you formed your opinions. Indeed, even four years ago I would have argued as you do today. But you are now just wrong.
This chassis is pathetically incompetent in winter. The fact that you think otherwise confirms you do not know how to drive, in winter or summer. Everybody who knows anything about driving knows that this chassis is incompetent even in the wet, let alone actual snow. Relying on traction or stability control to "save your ass" as you so amusingly put it, reveals that you do not know enough about car control to be expressing such opinions.

As for advocating killing yourself, well, we each have the ultimate responsibility to know our own limits. I know from your posts that I'm a better driver than you'll ever be. But, keep those sandbags in your trunk and do NOT disable your stability control,it might be dangerous ... for you.
