Thanks for all the answers, its much appreciated, a few comments:

The oil gauge gets well over 140 when I'm driving haven't seen it go over 260 even when driving it hard, so it works, just didn't know if I should let the car sit a few minutes.

I'm not going to drive the car in snow. But when there is no snow on the ground I would assume it is fine in the winter?

Someone told me the shocks would loosen, I didn't believe them since sport suspensions should keep the car firm.

Thanks for the help, always appreciated.

I would if it's not too inconvenient. You can drive it but don't rev high until it's warmed up to 180 like Mustang said.

Summer tires in cold weather can be a bit dicey so I would be careful about that. Tires have significantly less traction when cold (that's why you see burnouts before drag races).

I wouldn't expect much...
