I bet that's an easy car to drive in the snow. ;) I'm not sure if I'll get the true trac in before winter is over, but I'm hoping to, which would greatly improve my snow traction (& snow drifting). Mike P. installed one in Dana's 242Ti and they said the tone ring from a 240 was actually a little too big, but I think Mike said it could be tack welded and would work. He's got a true trac to install in his '88 245 now, so he'll be the first test to see if the speedo works. I'll let you know.

ABS would be nice at times, but does it ever get confused on low/no grip situations? I was using the parking brake a lot last week since I only have the snow tires on the rear. Works good.
