    Two weeks ago I did the third drive in the Ferrari Mondial t cab from coast to coast or nearly so. In this case it was from Portland, Oregon to Fort Knox, Kentucky.

    Car continues to perform outstanding. In eastern Oregon ran into winter storms, white out conditions, and mandatory chains on trucks (or $6,000 + fine).

    Later on Interstate 80 ran into more winter storms.

    Total for this trip was about 2,500 miles.
    Car held up better than I did.

    Only twice did the car spin a little.

    Once snow over ice broke on a mountain curve.

    Other time I tried to accelerate on ice too fast from a stop going up a mountain.

    Both cases were easy to recover from.

    The car has the high speed Z-rated Michelin Pilot Sport All Season tires.

    I think it is the tires, the aerodynamics of the car, and the overall design of the car.

    A truly amazing car.

    The car is rock stable at 130 - 140 mph on snow and ice on remote Interstate Highways.

    Wind gusts 50 + mph - no effect.

    An amazing car.
