Don't have the horsepower "problem" that you do with your mods. I've driven in some slushy stuff a couple of times with my wintersport M3's and the Beast has handled just fine. I do switch the transmission to 'C'.

Believe it or not Jak I drove my E55 through last year's winter on snows... it was actually not too bad, but I really hated doing that to my car. I recently canceled my Z06 order and found a good deal on an Audi S4... even came with snow tires. Fun isn't the word to describe this car in the snow... it's unreal. The +200hp over stock helps too

Mine has been tucked away also in a climate controlled storage garage with some other nice cars. I live in Wisconsin and will never drive a nice car in the winter. The salt gets into places you can't even imagine and you can't get it out. The little pacman guys are chewing on your metal 24/7 after that and all the bolts rust up and that nice factory freshness is gone forever. Just **** me. I drive an SUV in the winter and let the pacmans chew on that. They get hamburger, not steak!
