This is directed to our younger members in parts of the country that receive the joys of winter whom may daily a cobra (not directed to anyone in particular on here).
So every year around this time and until spring I read on social networks that some of our community die in Mustang related accidents due to weather and has been increasing since Street Outlaws became a show. It usually turns out that half of the incidents are young drivers in cobra's. Every year I tell myself to have this talk and I don't. Well this year I am
Be mindful... Nobody is "more skilled" than another, in driving a Mustang during winter. If you are unable to store it in winter or daily your cobra, keep this in mind. The tire you you run is important, it means nothing in a Mustang (particularly a cobra) during winter. There's no tire out there that will prevent you from getting sideways in snow, ice, black ice, wet leafs, salt with 400+ hp and stone age T/C. If you are constantly engaging in spirited driving, you are putting yourself in a position. Your drag radials will do you no favors... Snow tires will do you minimal at best. A supercharger acts differently from n/a, if you decide to pin it in 4th changing lanes on the highway... Well you get the idea.
It's all pretty common sense yet every year it happens. If you are forced to drive your Mustang/cobra in winter, lose the radials and drive it like you would with a Model A.
