Not yet.

The Valenti sales guy, Robert, was very thorough going through all the controls and said the only reason to take off the AWD was if you wanted to do some donuts or try drifting. I've only driven it for two days so far and I haven't tried either one yet.

That's cool that you can turn off the AWD though, I assumed it would be permanent.

On the console there is a traction control button.

Press once= traction control off
Press twice within a sec= stabilatrack competitive mode
Press and hold for 5-10 sec = stabilatrack off

Well why the hell not!! Once he said that I probably would have done them in the parking lot

And FYI - Snow tires will really help with stopping - although not so much when you rock out and don't pay any attention to driving (LOL)

That would have been funny! The sales guy was too nice though. When my wife got a new Nissan, I almost got into a fight with a high-pressure salesman that was trying to sell gap-financing and a bunch of other crap. That guy made the car buying process miserable and I was happy I didn't have to go through that.

Yep. Cranking out the tunes while not paying attention during a snowstorm. That is something I've done. I had to turn off the radio and tell myself to focus.

Real nice Dawg. Not as good as the Silverado w/4WD and snow tires but not bad at all. I'm going to stay with all season radials for now.

All season tires suck in all seasons! Lol I run the Blizzaks on the Cobalt. Never ever had a problem getting stuck at all. No traction control on the car either. I just put a new set of Blizzak LM 80's on it last week. Should be a fun winter.
