As for the concerns about salt, the Z holds up very well in that respect too. I made a point of keeping a yard weed sprayer filled with fresh water in my parking space. If it was wet out or particularly salty, I'd spray down the undercarriage and body. Putting it on a lift this summer, my local tuning shop was dumb-founded with how pristine the undercarriage looks. No rust/corrosion.
So, ignore all the 'you can't drive a Z in the winter' posts that are and will be made by people who haven't ever driven a Z in snow. The facts listed above are firsthand.

I was originally going to put some snow tires on but because of the route i drive I its really not worth it to drive the car in the winter. Up here in Boston last year we had a handful of storms that dropped 6+ inches and every road, highway, etc was awful. I consider myself a good driver, but there are others out there that have no idea what they are doing when bad weather hits. The Z will be in the garage all winter.
