never driven a mid engine car, but i drove a few front midship cars and actually i felt they were very stable under braking. And braking less is not always an option on the street. What if a guy cuts you off? Or a bus unexpectedly pulls out of the bus bay? Or a pedestrian decides to jaywalk across the street right in front of you?

If I had an SRT-10 Viper I'd obviously have some other cars... but yes, if you said, "Steve... the ONLY car you can drive this winter is an SRT-10" I would slap Blizzaks on it and be fine. Obviously I wouldn't be able to drive in deep snow, but on freshly plowed, snow-packed roads or very light accumulations I would be 100% fine.

I love your self confidence, it's very endearing.

It's just so simple. I mean, the SRT-10 makes something around 200 hp at 3,500 rpm or so. Probably something on the order of 400 lb-ft at that RPM. Totally driveable with a good snow tire and weight over the rear, especially with the tall gearing!

steve's a very good driver. he was able to pilot a 5.0 faster than the 370z's at zdayz, and since we all know it wasn't the car....
