putting it in one or two wont give your car more torque... it will just keep it in that gear till you over rev the engine and then shifft into the next gear.
My suggestion since I have driven thirdgens for several winters... keep it in drive and go very easy on the gas. Also keep a spare tire in the trunk so when someone wants to give you a push after you get stuck in the snow, your not going bumper to bumper... thats about it.

Do not forget to add about 200-300 pounds of weight to the rear for that added traction you may get.

Use free weights so you can distribute evenly throughout the well.

Had a 1990 RS in 1990-1995 that was my DD.

Worked great for me for many years and never had to worry about shit (sand or what ever you were going to use) leaking in the trunk.

Hey :ED: the weights are in the well. So if you are in an accident that is bad enough to project the weights you are probablu FUBAR already so the weights will just help shorten the pain.
