Snowboard Rack and Winter Driving Question
Hello everyone, I'm a new guy here. I test drove a Z for the first time today and I was really impressed. I'm also 6'6" 220 and since I can fit, that impressed me even more.
Anyway, my questions is has anyone mounted a snowboard rack on their Z? If so, how? My second and more important question is who drives their Z in say, a Chicago like winter? Last question, anyone running a Cobb AP? HP gains? Thanks guys Last edited by NomadicMarine; 04-02-2010 at 07:40 PM. |

Plenty of guys have driven their Zs through snowy winters with proper snow tires with no issue.
As far as the roof rack goes, there is a company called Boofsquire that makes special racks for the 350 and 370 that will accept standard bike, snowboard, and other mounting hardware. I provided my car to them last year for development and have the pre-production final prototype in my garage.

M41 gave them his car for the prototype. It's ready to buy now. I drove my Z in snow last winter. Check out my thread (and video) My Winter Rims/Tires Setup: TRMotorsport C2 + Blizzak LM-25 w/TPMS w/pics (AK370Z)
