More in the drifts - drifts approaching two feet I'd guess. LOVE IT!

The more I drive this car with these tires, the more I'm convinced anyone w/o a subaru and winter tires in a place that gets snow is asking for 'less than' in terms of capability. :D Audi would be fine...Mistu Evo would probably work great, too, I suppose.

I have a Mazdaspeed6 GT as my winter car. Turbo, m6, AWD, and 4 Blizzaks are a whole lotta fun on my back country roads this winter! :thumb:

The MS6 is a great car - I drive an RX8 when the temps are above 45 degrees. Has tein coilovers, enki rpf1 (18x9.5), 256/40/18 Advan AD07s, MS Flywheel, RB intake and catback.

The reason I went subaru vs. MS6 is due to my reliability issues w/ the 8 - mostly how Mazda was TERRIBLE when I needed warranty coverage. Couple that with a FWD-biased AWD system...AND Subaru's open-source tuning (easier power upgrades) and that was the deal clincher. Still - I respect the MS6...neat car.

My Legacy has VF52 Turbo (larger than factory, but off '08 WRX), open-source pro-tune, AVO TMIC, and Invidia up/down pipes. Road dyno shows about 300awhp/330lbs-ft @ 20psi peak.

I like something sporty for the summer too.

excellent! Instead of my RX8 i nearly got a 05 GTO. Just hated the steering, brakes, and body-roll. Liked the interior and the power, of course. I've been itchin to find a good muscle car to run against in the 1/4 in my Legacy... :D
