for me, there's 2 different answers...
1) if I'm going to use the cossie, I'd prefer large amounts of smooth gravel (it is a rally car)
2) for my evo, I'm thinking cool, dry, tarmac. (I'm driving my friends while he's away, until my MR gets here)

awd has its advantages in snow and rain, but nevertheless snow and rain are not safe driving conditions.. pushing the car too hard under these circumstances are dangerous nevertheless...

normal road condition with cool temperature is where our car really shines... safe road conditions allow more agressive manuveurs, and the cool air is friendly to the turbo engine

I live in california, and it is fun driving to reno in early november when there is a slight build up of snow on the road yet I dont need to worry about throwing the chains on

When I am not at the track, I enjoy driving in clear weather conditions late at night on the freeways.... I love taking my car to the limit at long off ramps that have "15mph" signs(not speed limit, just recommended speed)

lol. I am so far the only one who's voted for "pouring down rain". I guess all the hot dry desert has finally gotten to me after 18 years.

I have to vote pouring down rain.
In Florida we get either Blistering hot of Pouring down rail ( Throw in the odd hurricane).
I have never driven a car so grippy as the Evo in the wet, You can drag race in the wet it hooks so good.
