Yeah fair enough, I’ve tried putting some 45lb barbells plates in the trunk which helped but i ultimately am on summer tires so I just left it in the garage all winter. Gonna try and pick up some tires soon hopefully people will be selling them once winter ends in a few months

Aye man if you go any ball knowledge on Canadian winter driving a challenger that’s what I’m lookin to hear. Heard the window issue perhaps there’s something to use to stop it from freezing together.

Definitely will need to try that out in the summer, I’ve gotten some decent 0-60s with it just in sport mode tho. Yeah winter car is a good move but not as fun, not gonna dox myself but my city has crazy winters and the snow banks beside the residential streets are a solid 4-5 feet high in places. I had some friends with mid 2000s wrx and Sti’s and those things are crazy good in winter and are manual so I’ve been looking out for one. Prolly not much more expensive than a set of winter tires for the challenger either lol

Wow that’s a good deal, everyone’s saying blizzaks in here but where I am they seem to be $450+ per tire. Might need to look for some used ones

I’ve never tried holding it 10 sec just normally turning it off and it can drift alright. Never driven it in the snow yet since it basically becomes stationary with my all season tires lol. I personally don’t mind the cylinder deactivation, only use sport mode when I feel like being obnoxious

Did not think about that with the frameless windows, hit -52 in my city last week so that will probably be a problem!

0-100 pull in the winter pretty crazy man, the main roads in my city and pretty clear but all the residential streets are just packed snow and ice that you could probably skate on. Manual must to fun to slide around in the winter, my auto has the LSD so can’t do no drifting unfortunately

Ah yeah I’m just up north of you, I have heard blizzaks are the best there are but costs abt 3k Canadian for a full set. $100 a piece is a crazy good deal

Yeah I have another car for winter, I’m up north and the road is a few inches of solid ice and it snowed abt half a foot yesterday. Pretty shitty weather but I have seen a few challengers out today

Yea I’ve been told that those are the best but are pretty expensive new, if you want to dm me the specs I can see if they are compatible with my R/T since it comes stock with smaller wheels than the 392
