I have never Lived where there was not snow in the winter and I say get another Car/truck......
PKRWUD..(compression braking has always worked the best for me. It has never locked up the wheels.)
In a Mustang I think it would just Lock up...I dont have much realy Snow driving in my Mustang I cant get it to even move right now.
A MUST would be new Tires. next it to make sure your Brakes work right ALL 4 wheel will Lock up if you Slam on it and have some look at the tires. I have to redo My rear Brakes in my truck they did not work and it WAS not good braking. If you have a lot Of snow the best way to stop is ti lock up the wheels (if you have good tire) the tire will plow the snow and Make a pie in front of the tire. But you will not be able to Turn so let off do do that. Never get the Brakes to lock up if you are Turning and braking off the road you will go. I un like most LOVE to Drive in the Snow I look for to it And drive around Just for the heck of it if we get a Snow a storm it fun helping poeple out that have flew off the raod most of the time the poeple Panic that go off the road. Test the Braking of your car to know How long it will take you to stop a start to brake 100-50% be fore you think that you need to do it. like if you can stop in 100feet start to brake about 150-200feet from where you are trying to stop. I have never Gotten Stuck mush Only one time did I realy realy get stock and 3 others that tryed to help me out all got stuck trying to get to me well many poeple help me and the others out ad we shovled the road for they say That there was no way there coulf go any where Maybe if you have some 30in+ tires. it is hrad to tell you have to stop than it is to do it in your car not all cars will fell the same in the snow. So good Luck in a mustang I Dont every abuse my car (well not in winter )
