fine! as long as ur not in a hurry to stop on ice.

traction control is a laugh on ice as well, just floor it and watch the little light go mad! Dont know what it looks like from the outside though - wheelspin no wheelspin wheelspin...........
 


Nearly totalled it yesterday as was late for work and threw it into a space at the top of our open air multi storey. It was like Clio on Ice as I skidded towards the barrier but thankfully managed to stop about 1cm from it.

A new pair of pants later and I was ready for work!
 


I dont get all this ABS rubbish. It does not matter what the weather is like, drive to the conditions and you wont get into trouble. I have had no problems at all with my cup and Ive driven it through all the snow etc. If it ever begins to lock I take my foot off the brake and do it again, basic driving skill. If people are continually driving in a way that is casuing the ABS to kickin big time then they are not driving according to conditions, just slow down a bit.
 


Why all this talk about it being hard to drive without ABS? We never had it back in the "old days" of 5 GT Turbos.
 


Brakes? Nah theyre fine, its torque-steer, wheelspin and changing up "after the shift light / before the rev limiter" Im battling with :)

Anyone tried 205/40 x 16 on their Cup/172 yet?
