Yeah but what gets ya going has to eventually stop. This snow was brutal for us. Like trying to stop on wet leaves.

SHO went fine cept for the stopping part.

Random thought's of the day! Hmmm. Today's 1st snowfall of the season was Awe to see Herds of Chargers/challengers stuck on the roadside while looking @ my rear view mirror waving goodbye. Lol. Z  :ford:

Getting the same storm here now as we speak. 4-8 over night for us they are saying. Tomorrow will be the first time in the snow with the sho. I'm oddly excited to see how it does.

That's one thing about the sho; I enjoy driving it in the winter almost as much as driving it in the summer

I have the h&r springs and brand new motorcraft struts and shocks. I purchased them maybe a month ago but held off on the install. I originally was not going to drive the sho this winter. But I gave my niece my other car since hers got totaled. So that made me hold off. I will say she was a tank in the snow this morning. I was very impressed with the car and the Conti DWS in the snow. Z does having the springs installed hurt the snow driving a lot with the lower ground clearance?

The lowered stance does affect some of the AWD capabilities especially when snow builds up and gets stuck between the wheel well and tire due to the lower clearance.  Z
