The 32k Question S4, M3, ect?

[victory]

I used to drive a RWD car with an open differential and summer tires with no traction control or ABS in the PA winter.

Take it slow, throw some 50lb bags of rock salt in the trunk and you're good to go. It's all in the driving technique. If you grab some dedicated winter tires, all the better. Tire companies are even making winter tires with solid performance so you can still tool around pretty well when the roads are dry in between snow.

And yeah, certain turbo setups work great, though I'm usually sorta a naturally-aspirated guy myself.

No BMW's but "M's" get LSD's. It's silly, but that's how they've always done it.

Picus- "Silly" is right...I'll never understand why builders of The Ultimate Driving Machine wouldn't at least make LSDs an across the board option
