In any car, you drive to the grip that’s available, if that means being on a relatively small amount of throttle in any gear in any condition then you need to accept that’s what you have to do..

If you’re driving in snow, in any car, then chances are that your going to have enough power to break traction, you telling me that you’re cars going to be useless?

By having more power it doesn’t mean that you have less grip, it just means its going to be relatively easier to break traction..

Sorry if it seems like I’m going on here but hey..
