Holy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) !!! I live on a road that looks just like that for 6 months of the year, but... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/new_shocked.gif) I want to know what tires they are running. I'm going to guess Nokian. Amazing what these modern studless snow tires can do on really cold snow and ice.

Thanks for posting.

I'm pretty sure they are running spiked tires, i did read about their 911s a while ago and they mentioned spiked tires in that article.

I'm just glad to see that they added a 914 to their stable.

I wondered about that and am sure you are right. The new studless tires beat studded every time. But not even they can stop that fast on ice. I squirmed in my chair when they hit that pullout to turn around.

I actually did as well.

That was intense. Now I'm looking forward to some real snow this winter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Does anyone know if you can save a Youtube video locally to your computer? That is one worth saving.
