Let me help you with a quote from the article.

It appears I was right the first time, you can't read.

Apparently you can't read either.

Nor are you capable of defending your arguements. You must be an awesome lawyer.

This video illustrates very neatly why this car is so hopeless in the snow:

Remember this is merely a cool and damp track.

The Alfa actually out performs both the other cars but, of course, isn't as much "fun".

If going slowly sideways is fun, they're right. If driving reasonably quickly on winter roads is your priority, they're dead wrong.

lol, how ironic. It was always my plan to store it for winter. I didnt drive it last winter. But after having some fun with a friends BRZ in the snow i couldnt resist to get snow tires and swap out my suspension to drive in the winter. I always leave my TRACTION completely off 365 days a year.

Here a little video of us playing but it wasnt me driving.

I run just fine with WS70's all around, and 100lb of tube sand...no issues. Might have to drive a little slowly in deeper snow...but get stuck? pish that is for idiots with AWD

Oh great oracle of all things driving, please explain how a video of a Lotus Elise illustrates why this car is bad in the snow.

That's a nasty ding...

yeah man, I flipped my all-ways for 2 blinks as a wave


yeah so far the ding's grown on me, it's been there for over a year... sorta as a reminder not to do the stupid thing I did to get it (at 2km/h of all things)


but I think it scares people off, they see a banged up car they give it room, thinking the driver might not be paying attention.

Most positive attitude towards a ding ever.

I flip my shit over a tiny ding thats not noticable unless my car is detailed.

????, no lotus in that video. You is looking at the wrong video.

What was it about the word "Alfa" that confused you?

You linked to the second page of that thread which has a Lotus Elise video.

You are the reason why great people end up leaving forums! Your shit talking is beyond reason, and half of it makes no sense. People come these for genuine help and get half baked answers in return from retards like you. I don't think you actually understand anything technical or mechanical by nature, and simply only regurgitate what you've read, which could be wrong, and by looks of it - IS! This doesn't help anyone.

Oh great oracle, please forgive me for not properly deciphering your obtuse linking. I will sacrifice a goat as penance.

Please now explain to me how a video of a mid-engine car with 38-62 weight distribution running on 235 wide rear tires handling better on a wet track demonstrates the faults of this car?

Are you saying that one of the mysterious design flaws you keep referring to is the location of the engine?

Or maybe, just maybe, like everyone else is trying to tell you, the fault is not with the chassis of this car, but rather:

- You picked the wrong winter tires for your BRZ.
- Your winter driving technique sucks.

[Dipstik-sportech]

Or you're expecting things from this car that it was never designed for.
