So you're saying that turning out of a driveway at 10 mph made a car slide into a curb without any ice on completely dry pavement? Okay

He said "The sales manager watched him pull out, turn out of the driveway and then slide sideways into a curb across the street." If he was pulling out of a driveway, he could not have been going more than 10 or 15 miles an hour. If you're exceeding lateral grip at this speed, its either ice...

Then he floored it and went sliding. Again, the tires wont just magically slide into a curb.

Either there was ice on the road, or he floored it and went into the curb. The tires wont just magically start sliding. I've driven plenty of summer tires in sub zero temperatures.

I want those wheels for my winter setup

So long as you're not doing standing burnouts, you should be good, hahah. The only condition I find them to be pretty mediocre in is deep slush. But if its just snow, then they eat it up no problem.

Just for perspective, My Honda is on its fourth season with the X-ice, done a solid 20,000 miles on them. Never been stuck, and they've regularly seen a foot+ of snow across Maine and NY. Mustang likely won't get quite the same amount of tread life out of them, though I did take them on a road...

If you care about resale value, get the 3.73 stick shift.

Three best winters are Blizzaks, Michelin X-ice, and Continental Viking contact 8's (in my experience) Dont buy cheap snow tires, dont use traction control under 30 mph in the snow, and you'll have no issues. Also, dont only put them in the rear. Terrible idea. Put them all around.

In my experience, Steeda has been fine to work with. Your exhaust clamp situation seems like a skill issue. The type of dude to hit a grade 2 bolt with an impact and blame the hardware

Just googled, it was Vorshlag. https://vorshlag-store.com/

If you have an S650 without the performance pack, then you've got a trac-loc. I should probably elaborate that these were modified S197's that were on very very wide wheels doing a lot of hard cornering. There is far more strain on a diff when its dealing with such wide and sticky tires...

I've heard that the guys who were seriously racing the Trac-loc diffs had to replace the clutch packs pretty much every weekend before switching to the Torsen. Torsens seem to make the most sense for hard driving

2010 or 2015 was probably peak car. The 90's were great for pure involvement, but the early 2010's had so many incredible cars that its hard to top. E60 V10 M5's, S197s, Civic Type R's, C6 vettes, Camaros, all fantastic cars. We truly never will go back to such a time, and thats a shame.

dat look GOOD

I'm aware

I've heard of people using Friction Modifier with 75W-140, but I never tried myself. I just use DCT. The biggest change you can make is a Steeda or MGW shifter kit, followed by an aftermarket clutch setup. Beyond that, its knitpicking.

Weird. Condition points to it being a direct result of the tires, as it appeared after they tires were installed, but symptoms suggest otherwise. I could see it being a driveshaft vibration throwing everything off, but theres no reason for that to be the issue, it wasn (allegedly) never...

There is a fake noise getting pumped through the stereo. People have disabled it with Forscan. No other way. Theres a ten page thread buried somewhere on it. I looked through the entire wiring diagram for the car, theres no microphones to disconnect, its 100% synthetic through the speakers. Its...

The bigger wheel with less tire absorbs bumps better?
