Hello All,

This is my first post and I was wondering how does the traction control works on 370z as this is RWD vehicle.

Have you had a hard time driving in the snow? Or most of you guys have at least two cars, so you use the 370 on a nice day?

I love the 370z and was checking on vette also. Currently I have a 2010 Audi A4 Quattro.

Thanks

While there are some here who drive the car all year in snow country, I avoid it. I got stuck on a 1 square foot patch of ice in a parking lot, using all season performance tires.

I never have or will drive my Z in snow. Try it with some snow rubber and it should be ok. 1-3 inches of snow no more.

The stock tires on this car are summer tires and are quite slick in freezing conditions, so I avoid driving it then and rely on my Mazda 6.

I believe the line is "sorry goose but its time to buss the tower" but I could be mistaken ( highly unlikely )

I actually think you're right. Minus the mistake in spelling.
