Limited slip differential
in the snow... is by far, the absolute most difficult time I've had controlling a car. EVER. took me 10 attempts to put the car on the right side of the driveway... and I kept going sideways... at like, 1/2 mile per hour. I even put down snow melt and cleaned off the other cars before attempting!

?
The LSD in my 951 was the only way I'd drive it in the snow. I found it very sure footed in hard pack or ice when I lived @ 7,000 feet.
I might be able to scrounge up a nice open diff unit if you want to trade

Naw. I've got the 924. it's great in the snow with the open diff. I can't get the turbo moving. it's crazy!
might also have something to do with the snow tires on the 924...

Sounds like it huh? The diff should help you in the snow no?

I totally agree, I drove my S2 on pirelli snowsports and it was constantly sideways with my LSD. Driving up a small grade would put me sideways. Giving a bit too much gas would put me sideways. I was however on 225-40-18 fronts and 265-35-18 rears, perhaps a tad too wide...

thats why i love my 4wd 4.0 ohv 5spd posi rear Ranger. She is a beast in snow, With the set of AT tires on her she can go pretty much through anything that wisconsin can throw at her. I bought the truck after 7 years of trying to drive lowered sports car in this weather.
