Is anyone even close???

Ok Gang..It's slushy outside pretty much all around the country. My question to you all is, when your at a stoplight and it turns green is anyone even close to keeping up the the almighty VX in the snow/slush. The last couple days no one has even been close to keeping up. I'm not looking for a race but when your behind the wheel of something that eats the snow like our beloved VX's do it's hard not to taunt peeps. SUV's, 4X4's, AWD's, FWD's nothing has came close. The closest was a new Chevy Dually 4x4 that tried at 3 stoplight in a row. Then a thumbs up at the 4th...

the closest i have seen was a cayenne that didnt wanna see some punk kid in a cheap car get in front of them when the lanes merged in 1/4 mile...(he lost)

I noticed that today..also everyone cant keep up at the take off .Im not trying to race anyone ..I just take of with caution.. ....I luv theses things

yea i know what you mean! ive noticed it in the rain too.. i dont have to change my takeoffs much at all in bad weather where as most have to be feather light on the gas or the tire spin like mad.. i can only figure its got to be the weight+ short wheel base puts as much weight over each tire as possible to give us better traction.. kind of like keeping your feet directly under you when you walk down an icy hill instead of taking big steps

It's funny this thread came up.

Like last week when we got 10" of snow overnight and I just got my new tires put on..I was out play'in and in the city there is a street with red lights like every 50 yds or so.

I noticed a Chevy Avalanche weaving through traffic behind me in a big hurry. It was clear to me that he probably wanted to get around me because his lane was about to run out where it becomes an onramp to I90E.

The stage was now set! The light changed and I dropped the hammer...tried as he might for about 3 red lights he lost by about 1.5 car lengths or more each time.. He finally gave up and settled behind me for the 11 mile trek to Waterford!

Been having the same experiences...though it gets frustrating at times.

Having the hot-rod that can out accelerate pretty much everything in the snow, means that you eventually catch up with the group of garden slugs in front of you, where you're trapped, with only their complete driving incompetence as entertainment...

Oh yeah i know what you meant,it doesn't happen in the city,but every time i hit the high way there's some one looking at my toy
Then i actually "invite" them to have some fun,i start to swing from one lane to another,past few cars,go again & swing lanes & there's the adrenaline getting high,the rest of the history you already knows it

The last time i was in the I 495 which takes you to eastern long island i went to the dealer where i bought the VX ( 74 miles ) & there was two guys on a montecarlo SS we played the game for about 15 minutes,then the guys came close by & give me two thumbs up & drove out the following the exit

I guess they were amazed the way the VX handles cutting thru cars which i believe they never saw before in another SUV
