What's with this idea of adding weight to the car for winter driving? I know of a lot of people who put sand bags in the trunk - like the average driver can handle oversteer? The ice racing guys are looking for the lightest cars, knowing that more weight is harder to get around a turn. The hot setup in ice racing (if the term "hot" can be applied to ice racing) is the Chevy Sprint (rebadged Suzuki Swift GTI) with the 1 liter turbo motor and 185/60-14 Blizzak WS-50's. At 1700 pounds it'll outrun a WRX on ice.
