Well, I'm honestly impressed with what my Evo can do in the snow on proper winter tires. But I can guarantee a G35X has nothing compared to the degree of the electronic and mechanical wizardry that the Evo X has, or even the lesser handling STi. Will its AWD system help get you up an icy hill? Yep. Will it help you 4 wheel drift around some dumbshit who just slid into a curb? Nope.

But talking about crossovers and SUV's with AWD... absolutely worthless. Not a damn thing you can do to make a 6000 lb vehicle handle well, especially in the snow/ice.

LOL. If only you knew exactly how idiotic people here drive in the snow...

Nothing will save you from these Mormons who seem to believe that God somehow guides their car for them through the sheets of ice and banks of snow

It's the same around here you see more mustangs,camaro's and challenger's than the Z.
To me the Z is still a well kept secret kinda under the radar. Plus the Z to me has always been a do i need it or want it type of car. It's a car for a select market +30 grand two seat
sports car.

I have seen two 370Z's in NW Houston since I bought mine in May. Tons of trucks, SUV's, and Mustangs (mainly pony Mustangs...fewer GT's). I am starting to see more base Camaros. There are tons of Chargers (aaargh).Dodge Ram trucks EVERYWHERE.
Thats how they roll in H Town. Fine by me, the fewer 370Z's the better IMO.

In the Uptown area of Dallas and on my drive to Plano I see a few of them everyday. When I go to other parts of the Metroplex I see them as well....We went to Oklahoma a few weeks ago and counted 5 going South on I75 at various points with 1 being a 40th.

well i went to the nissan dealer down the road last night and they have 7 sittin there on the lot, but I guess they just arent selling them. They have writing all over them for money off and how much you will pay if you buy it right now with top credit etc and nothing down. Very tempting for me but they didnt have the exact one id wana be in anyhow so im safe! lol besides, ive been eyein some of the used cars on the forums anyhow. Still, crazy to see so many on the lot! I guess they are trying to compete with 2 chevy dealerships that have prob 15 camaro's each on the lot trying to sucker the Navy guys in to buy em! lol

Saw 4 370s on the way in this morning. Bunch of Mustangs but mostly older than 2010. No 5.0s.

Thats how I would prefer it. When I had my Audi TT it was very rare and I loved that fact.
