My Dad had a Chevy Tracker with a limited slip rear and in ice and snow you had to be in 4wd because of its frightening propensity to fishtail. I never did try it with a bunch of weight in the rear end, in retrospect that seems like a good idea. At any rate, my 240D even with snow tires will spin the tires on ice. Its ICE for crying out loud... -Curt Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2006 19:56:10 -0600 From: "Rick Knoble" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Traction in adverse conditions To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original >I think I asked this question quite a while ago and received minimal >response and some snickering (over the thought of a 240D spinning its >tires). My response is still the same. Why would one need limited slip on a car that will not spin a tire on ice?? Rick Knoble '85 300 CD '87 190 DT --------------------------------- Yahoo!
