How do you think a Vibe would do? I know the engine would have to be modified because mine can't even handle highway speeds in the mountains.I've still never been to the snow drift. I grew up near that area so it's sad that I've never experienced it.

The Vibe has plenty of power for this, you just need to be a good enough driver and remember that your engine speed should not dip below 4000rpm! Slushboxes need not apply! Keeping up with the AWD Subaru's would be a problem, but that's why we have diffrent HP and drive classes!

it was due to mechanical problems with the car though something broke, and he had to pull out. but it was kinda expected since it was a new car and all.
