Problems with DP?

Well the only problem is people who tailgate me now have asthma, as do their vehicles!

BUT seriously... Does anyone else have problems while driving in the rain or snow?! HA! It seems the extra power is way to tempting and dangerous. Being able to wood-it and loose traction at any speed and in any gear is really.. uh.. FUN! Thankfully I can put it in Stock-Tune to alleviate those problems.

If you want a kick in the pants try this. Put it in 4x4, 140 smoke, 20 lbs boost, then let the break go. On dry pavement of course. Can't believe my big truck will launch like it does.
