Heh.

Well right now I drive a 1994 V8 thunderbird. I had the rear end redone with 3.73 gears and trac loc.

It is my winter car. But yeah, I probably will look for one with the gold package and trac loc.

I think I read somewhere that the TRAC option wasn't available on the 5speed SC3's.

And, at least in the early years, TRAC was part of the "cold weather" option package, which also included heated seats. Harder to find int he sun belt.

And a LHD UZZ32 active suspension car would be rare all right, since they never built one

lexsc3,

Just outta curiousity, you go to school at Miami? You said you were at school by Cinci. I live in NE Ohio also and just graduated from Miami last may.

The SC's are tricky to drive in the snow, but I have to admit the traction control helped a ton. I have a steep incline in the driveway, and got up everytime (took a lot of rally style driving,) but never needed bags of sand or salt in the back. Snow tires would have helped.

Default ROFL.....

lexsc3 : actually you probly just dont want to even drive your SC in the winter....
ROFL, I got a SC for winter driving, I am in Columbus, Oh and I also have a 240sx which is a pain in the a$$ to drive in the snow, the SC is SOOOO much better. That is the main reason for me to get another car was for it to be a more luxurious car and a car i would use for long trips and snow driving But I love my SC sooo much now that I am putting my 240 off I still like to drive my 240 and after I get the SR20DET in to my baby I will LOVE eating up ricers But at the time I didn't know I would love my SC so much and I drive it ALL the time now..................

hmm.. Maybe I should drop it, poeple are always asking if I am a towel head.



* RyanSC .... didnt mean to suggest you are a "towel head" like you suggest

i was wondering the correlation
The racial slur "towel head" should not be tolerated... It offends people of Arabic descent... Maybe you can changed the slur to Arabic or delete it.. Hey CL is not that type of community..

I hope you enjoy either SC you get/have....
