I agree with 1BAD89 on the getting stuck on a relatively flat driveway. My friend had a maybe 5* incline on his driveway. There was about 2" of snow on it, and he couldn't drive up it without me pushing on the back.

I laughed at him. He thought tires and sandbags were gonna make that much of a difference. He had brand new RE940's. M+S rated and everything.

So he throws the tires on. Backs down the driveway. As I await the inevitable wheelspin and futile attempt to go forward, he shocked the hell out of me. Drives forward, backward, forward. Then backs up, drives through his fin yard with 6" of snow in it, pushing snow out of the way with his front spoiler and takes off out into the street, thoroughly whooping his neighbor who was racing right after him in a 4x4 full size chev. Nearly took out Eric's mailbox with that behemoth.

It was unreal. Impossible, but that 87GT beats everything other than AWD cars accelerating, everything stopping, and everything cornering.
