As long as your on snow tires should be just fine as long as you don't have a open diff base. I went through 3 winters on my 350 no prob

It's actually a trooper. I've had it in snow as deep as i can find, and found the end of the steering rack while coming around a corner.

I DO, however, avoid driving and starting the car that hasn't been in a heated garage. So no -10F starts for her.

I'm jealous........that you're driving the Z. Spring can't come soon enough!

If it's "warmer" this weekend I think I'm going to install my Swifts and spacers. If I can't drive the Z, I'll still wrench on it!

congrats on selling them, but why u waiting for fall?

It is going to be an awesome season though, many of us have done extensive mods over the winter.

Need to start thinking about a season opener at twin peaks?

Ni55anPat · 02-02-2014, 01:13 PM

haha woops! Sorry on a few hours of sleep.

I haven't done much mods because i just bought a house…..but maybe i'll sneak in some aerojacket CF duckbill or aerojacket fenders…..We shall see

I saw you bought a turbo kit? congrats, that will be fun.

I did, thanks. cant wait to get it installed and tuned.

other mods ive done over this winter

fuji rear cf diffuser
led interior lights
door handles painted body color
manifold cover painted the silver body color
led rear fog light.

I know cesar is doing quite a few mods to his, Meulen is doing quite a bit to his 40th, and Sean has some cool things coming to his as well.

and if the gtm boys get their TT kits(long shot) we are going to have a lot of high HP Z's runnning around chicago this year!

as for you, again congrats on the house, cant wait to see what you replace them with as it has to be something really cool to let go of those grams!

nothing will beat the grams, ever!

i'm really sad to let them go, but its been 2-3 years of ownership….it's time to change it up….if they were wider, i would keep them forever but its time to go super crazy aggressive!
