Nice, I'm in. Usually end of March/April my Z will come out so I will definitely try to organize a cars and coffee type event around then.

Nice! I'm in as well. I'm up for a meet anytime, no need to wait for spring. Blizzaks will get me there rain, snow or shine!

How does this car handle in the snow with winter tires?

No personal experience but I heard it does pretty well for RWD.
I think your biggest issues will always be clearance. Where I live, they are so slow at cleaning the roads...a few inches and your bumper becomes a snow plow.

Holy crap didnt realize there were so many of us here. I know Dan talked about doing an all 370 meet sometime. Once it gets warmer we should set it up.

We organized a chicago group on here, you should join. It's a few posts up. That way we can keep it organized.

Once warm weather arrives I will try to create a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly "cars and coffee" type event so all of us can meet/network/cruise/etc.

BTW love your car from when it was featured as car of the month on ChicagoZ

The commute last Friday was an interesting one, the snow had gotten quite deep by the time I left work. I made it home fine, but in a few spots I did have some trouble getting traction. On one slippery up hill area I actually had to switch VDC off because it kept cutting the engine before I actually got moving. But in general, as long as it's not too much snow and you drive with care, the car handles fine in wintery weather. This is my 3rd winter with the Z and I can say the Winter tires have been a great investment.
