370z vs...... THE Snow

Ryan@IP · 01-28-2009, 11:45 AM

The only thing out of the ordinary I saw out today was an E46 M3 on snow tires. Luckily my beater car made it through the ice and snow just fine. I think the guy above me probably had it much worse in Cincinnati! I hear you guys are on level 3 emergency. (for non-locals: meaning that police can ticket you for being out on the roads without a certain excuse)

Oh.
I think awhile back I saw those new M5's trying to get out of a parking lot with
6 inches of snow.

I'm debating over this issue as we speak. I just moved to Jersey and bought a $950 crapcar because I'd like to buy a new one in a few weeks (the usual suspects Camaro, 370z, GenCoupe etc) and what keeps me from actually going to a Nissan dealer is the winter issue. I mean, I'd of course get a set of winter/all season tires, but is that enough for a 370?

I've been driving a Mustang rental over the last few weeks and didn't really have any problems driving it in the snow. Is that in any way comparable to a 370?
