tips for driving in the snow with a supra:

1. dont go out in the snow with a supra

2. look at number 1

i got stuck on 1 inch slush-ice

I'm looking to buy a supra as well and I live in Denver suburbia...

I NEVER drive up to the mountains, always on salted/sanded roads. I used to drive an old Mitsu. Mighty max, RWD, manual, with a rear end light as a feather and leaf springs bouncy as hell... and I made it all right through some snow storms. (Admittedly, I did use sandbags in the bag.)

But you guys are scaring me; from the posts I've read it seems like the supra might go spinning off helplessly the second I undo the parking brake...
Do you guys live in places where it doesn't snow often or just bad drivers? If it really is that incredibly bad, (remember my truck as a comparison) I might have to not buy it, but tell me otherwise! :D

well i live in nj, depending on how the weather is...we get a decent amount of snow...like every other winter, the weight of the supra kind of gives it better traction than most rwd sports cars, but still that shouldnt be much of a problem....i found it hard to drive because i live in a hilly area...so teh supra cant make half hte hills going up...when going down i pretty much slide down the hill, but it could also be because when i drove that one time in teh snow...i didnt change teh tires....i still had a pair of street tires not designed for snow, and the town dint salt or sand the roads so that dint help, i pretty much had a friend who owns a trailer and an suv tow me home since i couldnt make it....im not a bad driver hahaha

The heavy weight of the MkIII will come as an advantage in winter for better traction on acceleration. Although it is a major advantage on deceleration because its mass stores a lot of kinetic energy, making its momentum difficult to stop and control. Being rear wheel drive dosen't help either.
