Mitsubishi GTO (3000GT) Fun in the snow!
There's no business like snow business...
This is taken after I imported the car to Sweden in 2005, the AWD traction with snow tyres was amazing!
The first day I had the car out in the snow I helped pull another motorist out of a deep ditch. The car didn't flinch, no wheel spin, just dug in and drew the other car straight up on to the road. Wet weather performance is also excellent in these cars, great traction and cornering ability, very stable, although with some understeer if pushed to the limit.

Ok thanks!
I saw a video recently (could have been a 5th Gear section) where a front wheel drive car on winter tyres easily out-climbed a 4 wheel drive car on summer tyres up a snow covered incline. I guess with your AWD & snow tyres you'll be helping out recovering HGVs ;)
Yeah, there’s no grip with summer tyres, doesn’t matter how many wheels are driving, they all spin. The winter tyres on this car were studless “friction tyres”. They have a soft compound made for cold weather and the tread pattern is made so the tyre spreads out a lot under load and gives a big surface area. Studded tyres are more effective on ice than these friction tyres, but only on ice, not snow of any type.
I'm not up on my tyres, always gone for the cheapest on past cars but when we got the Fabia in March, it was shod in Conti Sport 3s. Bloody grippy on dry, warm days but just as crap as the cheapos when weather cold :(
Awesome action shot! Now I want a GTO more.... Next post crash?
Guess who is sitting in the passenger seat in this pic... 8 years old... his destiny as yet unwritten...
nice GTO u got there. its hard to see it here, evenif got the owner most probably keep it and don't drive it.
Thanks, this car really was ok, but I don't have it anymore, check my other posts about my Mazda RX7fd. Will be posting a lot more on that one this summer I hope!
