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

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. :)

:iagree:

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)

you sound better off with a MINI. they will fit you too just fine, can look cool with a roofrack, and no issue in winter.

dont put a roofrack on your Z. :icon17:

I saw the website for the roof rack I'm tempted to get it so I can go snowboarding. Don't feel like renting a car everytime just to go snowboarding
