GT-S In The Snow?

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.

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.
