Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
We could use the performance of the C2 in the snow as argument to re-question the necessity of AWD in the 996.
Leading evidence: 'Use performance of the c2 in the snow as argument' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use performance of the c2 in the snow as argument' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Can't you see he has his wing up well below 75 mph and at a speed that the wing will make no difference to aerodynamics ...
Cool video! Thanks for the post! We could use the performance of the C2 in the snow as argument to re-question the necessity of AWD in the 996. This clearly shows that it's about the tires and the driver, not about C2 versus C4.
Whatever you guys want to believe...believe. Me, I drive AWD in the rain and snow...there is a reason the quattro's were outlawed in just about every touring car series they entered...they always won unless they carried weight beyond fair.
IMHO of course.

(so better in dry too for some....)
No doubt a C4 would be quicker around a snow covered "ring" (and slower around a dry "ring"). I was only pointing our AWD is not necessary to drive a 911 in the snow. I should know my C2 pulls "winter duty" in Chicago every year (with snow tires of course).
Glad you liked it. After our recent snow conversations i thought it was a good one to post.
I keep telling people at work that the 911 is perfectly happy in snow when they ask if I'm bringing the car out to play - they never believe me until I point out the obvious that the weight of an engine on the drive axel is a perfect recipe for traction.
It's actually a lot better then most cars out there. Rear wheel drive with all the weight on the rear tires. Can't beat that set up for a 2 wheel drive car.
Not to pick on BMWs, but every year, after the first snow of the year I see a BMW struggling to get traction - it's amazing. They should be lucky to have our traction.
Last week we had a minor snowfall that froze (during the morning drive) and I saw a BMW stuck half way up a slight incline - immobile and spinning it's wheels. It was a sad sight.
I have noticed the same thing about BMW's. Just try to drive a 3 series/M3 in the same manner you can toss a C2 around in the snow. The "3" just doesn't cut it.
IMHO it's mainly about the tires! I had several BMW 3 series with RWD in the alps with good winter tires and was able to outperform most other 2 wheel drive cars in the snow. Now I've an X3 with all season tires and on the rare snowy days here in VA I hardly get any grip despite AWD. I'd say that 70% are the tires and 30% makes the drivetrain.
