[Shotimes] Pontiac unveils SHO successor?

[Rick Glass]

Different people all carry different levels of skill and control and each
car has it's own characteristics.
You can take 2 different people put them in identical cars with identical
tires and get 2 different results for control.  Take a highly skilled driver
and put  him in any car on a really bad set of summer tires and he could out
control an average driver on the best snow tires.

Just look at what Kirk can do with an Impaler with bad tires on a racetrack.

We all have our own experiences, we all have our own opinions.
FWD, RWD, all-season.....who gives a rats a$$....it don't matter.
Tires ain't sheeiit if you can't drive.

I've driven RWD, I've driven FWD.....I've never had or driven on snow tires,
I've never had a wreck in the snow, and I've never been stuck or found a
road I couldn't travel because of the snow.....


Everyone is right.....and to each their own....

Let's all agree to disagree and let it go.
