    Some fun in the snow

    I drove the R8 to my office this morning and my parking lot wasn't plowed yet after a couple of days and about a 4 inch accumulation of snow. It was too tempting to switch into sport mode and turn on the camera.

    Nice control ... did you say you had the traction control off??

    You can also appreciate your StaSis exhaust in the video!

    Re: Some fun in the snow

    Great fun and thanks for sharing.

    The one thing I still need to do in life is experience a white Xmas.

    Love hearing the Stasis in the background as it is difficult to get a good clip of the V10 Stasis in action and a true representation of its sound.

    I absolutely loved my V8 Stasis but at the moment Tubi is my favorite.

    Anyone out there with a long clip on the Stasis on a V10?

    Pleasseee make and post

    For those that haven't seen before check this LUNATIC out with a Tubi on a V10 ..but what a great clip he posted to hear the exhaust working.

    Apologies to go so off topic..

    Fun video to watch - too bad you couldn't get someone outside to film you so you can catch the car going sideways! Nothing beats Quattro in the snow - we used to do that in the business complex behind the Portillo's on Rt. 59
