I'm already crusted up with winter road grime. Got another 12" coming this weekend. (That's what she said.)

I didn't buy a quick, AWD DD to sit in the garage all winter, thats where my mustang is supposed to sit! (I drove my SHO last winter when it was brand new, and will drive it again this winter). I usually just powerwash/quick detail my rims, every week or so, to alleviate salt. And when it warms up full detail the car. Since my parents live in florida, I will get a nice wash done when I visit them for christmas.

Haha. Logging for the Warlock @ -2*F in the slush makes me feel (and look) so dirty. LOL

You are a braver man than I. I shut down logging when it dropped below 30 constantly, for fear of the inevitable lack of traction.

Yeah, after I hit the record button, my primary focus is staying out of the ditch (which almost happened this morning).

You say brave, I say borderline stupid. :D

Awesome will be nice to get some real numbers...just wish you had a dynojet close by so i can compare better to what i ran on instead of the heart breaker mustang dyno you are scheduled for.....in the end the 1/4 mile trap is all that matters i guess

Been looking in a thesaurus I see ;)

"Stupid,brave,car enthusiast" are all synonymous in my book!

Yeah, absolute numbers will be a little low, but the deltas from my baseline should still be relatively accurate, since I've already run on this dyno (2 months ago).

DynoJet inertia dyno would have been ideal, but no linked AWD in my area, unfortunately.
