What can I expect?

Zeebabar,

It really comes down to how you drive the car.

In my case, the Z is just a toy that comes out on nice sunny days, as I have 3 other cars to drive. I never race the car, as my tomcat days are long past. I have nothing to prove. I just enjoy driving a convertible that not everyone else has.

Personally I wouldn't even consider driving a car with this lack of ground clearance, the width of its tires, and the rear wheel drive, in our snow and ice winters of Southern, Ontario, Canada.

My daily driver is a winter tire equipped Subaru OutBack with all wheel drive. Its like being crazy glued to the road.

That said, if you're careful, and have winter tires installed, it may be possible to get around in the winter. But it will test your driving skills and patience. I for one wouldn't even consider doing so.

As far as which tires to buy for winter, I'd buy the best all season radials that you could get, unless you can spring for two sets for the car ... dedicated winter tires and dedicated summer performance tires.

Just my opinion.
