Alaska Winter Driving 2009 Mustang Pony V6

[ndiorio15]

Did your car have weight in the trunk and or snow tires?

[cheaniggachea]

rofl you are amazed by this "traction control device"... its basic shit man, where have you been the past 15 years

[bandant123]

I have a 2007 ford mustang I live near chicago illinois so we get a lot of snow and I do love the slip resistant

[TKO52286]

Cars are meant to be driven YEAR round given proper tires are equipped on the vehicle

My buddy has the 2007 V6 as well as the 2012 GT

Both are driving year round.

[bennyhaha66]

I drove an 05 gt without snow tires all of last winter in Iowa, it was pretty harsh, I gotta do it again this year but ill have snow tires and gonna weigh the back end down as much as I can

[DodgeMan360]

I use to run ford crown vics in the winter in Canada all the time, with all seasons. Been through every blizzard we had for a couple years, and I never had an issue. Its funny the amount of folks that say "your crazy for driving a car like that in the snow! get a 4x4" well, I gotta 4x4 now, they might make getting up to speed easier, but slowing down is just as sketchy... :P

[promustangman]

I drove a 71 mach 1 for 4 years when i based at elmendorf AFB Alaska never really had any problems 302 auto 295-50-15s on the back

@BlueColdDog Nice vid man, I always kind of feel awestruck by those of us brave enough to try Anchorages road in winter in a rear wheel drive.

[creamyfilling102]

was that blinking light traction control? the first thing i do when i get in a car with traction control, is turn it off. electronic malarky. feather your own throttle. a computer doesn't need to control the frickin throttle for you.

[jacob5525]

I always wash my stang after driving in snow for more than 2 days. just rinse the undercairrage and rest of body that should get rid of bull shit salt

[paladinrulez]

I call that blinking thing "dwarwes". Everytime wheels starts to spin on the snow, dwarves come to party.

[motocrossmark400]

you just gotta know how to drive in ak, not like smartass big trucks with 4x4, and monster tires

[corycallawayisHOT]

my 06 v6 doesnt have traction control since its the 5 spd.... guess ill be goin sideways lmao

[adammdamann]

you should try and learn how to drive without the traction control and ABS. eventually those systems get less and less sensitive to traction.

[ctquicksilver]

had a 06 gt it drove better on ice than my new honda civic..... traction control really works.. takes power away from the rear wheels instantly



[ThisGuy24Ghz]

how much horse power does the 2009 v6 have?

[RaptorTX915]

i think for the 2009 45th anniversary edition, a v6 is acceptable. its fully loaded and a great daily, efficient driver. the 500gt will be a nice upgrade. Alaska seems cool by the way.

[1tashdor]

i was planning to buy 2011 ford mustang v6. but always worried about winter coz people kept telling me its just for summer. so lil confuse. can anyone tell me the truth? thanks

[BlueColdDog]

@1tashdor

Watch my vid dude. Did those losers drive all year long in winter conditions - didn't think so. Get a Mustang!

[musicforlife13]

@1tashdor

I have a 1999 Mustang V6. With snow tires, she goes just as good as any front wheel drive car.

[UFCownage]

@1tashdor v6...? wtf are you thinking..

[BlueColdDog]

@UFCownage I was with the wife when shopping. I know, I learned my lesson. Shoulda-Coulda-Woulda.

My next one is definitely a GT or better. Like my weapons, they are only getting bigger and better.

[myuzz]

you should trade in maybe for 2011 GT!?

[tatsumaru111]

great vid bro. one question tho.. do you have winter tire on, or all season tire?

[BlueColdDog]

@tatsumaru111 Thx for the Kudo's... The tires I use are studded winter tires from Sam's Club.

[maroouch]

I am interested in buying the new 2011 Mustang down here in Southern Ontario but was worried about winter driving.

I'm glad you actually posted this video, makes me sleep better now thinking it's possible. Just have to invest in snow tires (studless unfortunately) and I should be good.

Thanks!!!

[BlueColdDog]

@maroouch Some of my customers have used the studless tires this past winter and they did fine. Even the GT drivers are puttin around town during winter now. Have fun! Be safe and watch out for Morons on the road.

[Insurrection02]

Aw, V6 fail... V8 FTW.

Still, good for you on getting whatever the f**k you want.

[BlueColdDog]

@Insurrection02 Indeed! But what I F**'in wanted was a yellow GT! I was with the wife at the lot and I caved for the blue v-6. I'll get my GT though... yeah... I'll eventually get the one I really want. I'll never Fail again.

[DWINTERS14]

DUDE finally somebody who doesn't bitch about the car getting "ruined" you've inspired me!

[Astenosis]

haha, youre on Boniface.. I dont feel so couped up in AK now that its on fuckin youtoob

[Jason24241]

Winter tires are a necessary and important piece of safety equipment for any vehicle in winter conditions. I refuse to drive a car without them during winter.

[myuzz]

@Jason24241 I live in saskatchewan and I have gotten by fine for the last 7 years. I think a bigger part of it is HOW you drive...All seasons FTW

[Jason24241]

@myuzz I agree, how you drive plays a major role, however, when somebody cuts in front of you and slams on their brakes, or some sort of emergency manouver is required, winter tires give you the edge, they're not for the weak. The ignorant/cheap/stupid don't use winter tires.

[stevestang08]

nice video - I'm taking my mustang trhough the snow too ;)

[disillusions]

Thanks for the vid. My concern with driving in the winter, at least around here in Indiana, is the damn salt on the road more than the snow. It doesn't bother me too much with my older '98 mustang, but I'm looking at getting one of these '09s and am not sure if I would want to have it in the salt.

[BlueColdDog]

@disillusions

Stick a bunch of slugs under your carraiage. Maybe they'll eat up any potential salt hazards you come upon. lol. seriously, salt is f'd up. I understand your delimna. can't help. ANY ONE ELSE HAVE SOME IDEAS?

[MvP1292]

i was looking for a video like this. thanks :D

[siamiam]

it snows down there :O

:P

most of my winter cars have been rwd :)

stopping is more important then going in winter ;) a lot of 4wd vehicles think 4wd helps them stop :P
