Snow tires, the lsd, and traction control make it pretty capable in winter conditions. A lot of people who feel uncomfortable driving in snow think they have a car issue but often a dedicated set of winter tires is what they really need.

I've come to the conclusion that the biggest issue with driving in the snow is ground clearance. I've had a set of snow tires on since November and I haven't had any traction problems. Anything more than 4 inches of snow and you risk turning the car into a snow plow. Especially if you have the sport package front spoiler.

If your in Markham area you might see mine. I drive from Niagara to Markham, 240 KM's, about 3-4 times per week. It's impossible to keep clean, the powdery salt haze covers the car within I trip on the highway.

Same here, I only drive it once or twice a week, but it gets dirty quick. I just quit washing it a couple weeks ago. I'll start washing it again when the temps get closer to 0c, no point in doing it when it's this cold.

I'll drive mine if it's been clear for a few days. I really like the way the car feels when it's breathing in all that cold air, but I do miss having traction.
But if it even looks like it may have the possibility of maybe becoming crappy... oh hell no. I have an old beater S10 that if someone hit or something happened to it, I'd shrug and be annoyed. If something happened to the Z I'd cry.

I drive mine all winter long. Of course I live in Georgia where the winters aren't bad. The Stock tires were awful when it got cold. I have Advan Sport A/S
tires now for the winter and they work pretty well. Mine doesn't move if there is snow or ice. |
