Re: GT-S In The Snow?
hicas is supposed to feel pretty fucking weird... and it kicks in at like 75km/h, and feels weird on dry road - maybe a lot more 'interesting' on snow. the lack of turbo will do away with boost kicking in and losing the rear end, which is good.

Re: GT-S In The Snow?
They suck in the snow. GTRs are way cool in the snow.
I locked out my HICAS as well. If it acts up going around a corner, say bye bye to that car. That is why you lock it out.

Re: GT-S In The Snow?
I have a friend who used to have a GTST. It had HICAS. He HATED it (HICAS). He did a 360 in a tunnel on the expressway. HICAS was the cause. HICAS was a BIG mistake. In theory it sounds great....in reality....a much different story.
