snow time

I think many people are missing the point here, why are we debating about salt and corrosion when this guy moving from TX wants to know if its safe to drive his Z in the Northeast? The answer is YES-it can be safe to drive however you will need snow tires and you have to figure out where and how much driving you will be doing. If he works on the road or has a long daily commute and it snows more than 5 inches, your going to be in trouble. Going up a snowy hill in a Z with snow tires will give you some trouble as well. If he drives outside of the city whether its Boston, Providence, Portsmouth, etc and drives on the back roads when its snowing heavily, YES you will be safer in an AWD. AWD and FWD with proper tires will give you more control in treacherous weather versus a light sports car with RWD and snow tires. If you plan it right you can drive the Z with snow tires in the Northeast, just plan ahead when we get snow and make alternative transportation plans. If you dont want to worry about any of this and feel like its time to get a new car, then go for it
