Studded snows could be the answer...or go the Auto route (Yucch!!) Not sure how much hp the slushboxes in the Gen5's can handle...but that level of hp would require a nasty torque converter, something well north of 3500 RPM stall or I guess the ECM could be programmed to lock the converter at that rpm?? I have no idea what's available on that front...more a question for Mike or Clint.
I would never consider swapping my car for an L99 in any way shape or form, so I'm not up on that subject....sorry, but just sayin. All this automatic transmission talk is making me feel weird. I better take a shower. lol
