I haven't driven the Z in snow, but did my 2007 G35 with snow tires. I didn't get stuck once in the 3 years of snow. It is low, so if you are smart about not trying to plow through drifts you are good.

Ya like my Civic is fairly low to the ground and it did just find this last winter. Growing up I had Manual Ford Probe GT which was super low to the ground with fat racing tires and I don't ever recall being stuck.

Was the G35 a RWD as well?

Drove my Z all during winter here in Wisconsin. Just having a good set of snow tires made a difference and was in fact better then my 2 previous vehicles (both of which where FWD).

People that say the Z can't be driven in the snow just do not know how to drive in it in the first place.

:iagree:

Also, Cowboy Bebop rules! :rock:

you could drive it in reverse and make it into a fwd car. :icon17:

Driving in the snow and driving in the winter are two different things. You can drive it in the winter when the main roads are plowed, shouldn't be a problem except for those neighborhoods where the city doesn't plow the roads there (like St. Paul), but I'm not experienced with all this summer/winter tire stuff so I can't tell the difference.
It's better off to have a secondary vehicle to use for the days when it's snowing hard and you have to drive home from work or whatever in those conditions.

Ya, the G35 coupe was the same drive line as the 350Z.

Just picked up a 2011 370 Z six speed sport today and plan to drive it next winter w/dedicated snow tires and wheels. My wife drives an 09 G37 sedan w/AT with Michelin snow tires in Iowa winters. Last year was the worst ever. Snow tires on a well balanced vehicle are more controllable than a FWD vehicle but, you need to drive with care. Deep snow is the problem and when you start "plowing" with the front chin spoiler then you got problems. These vehicles are meant to be driven daily in my opinion.

nothing drives better in snow than a 4wd with a real transfer case. picked up a 93 pathfinder for a grand and it beat the hell out of driving my previous 3 rwd vehicles in snow. and it isn't real snow unless it's 6 or more inches.

Im over in North Dakota, and she stayed cozy in the garage all winter...

I wouldn't even pull her out when the weather warmed up.. not till the snow is gone...

I could not imagine my red Z roadster out in the snow! On Saturday I got it out of storage and for a few brief miles I was in heaven! I won't be enjoying it this week with snow on the way but hopefully this weekend it will be dry! With all the rain this week the roads will be salt free at least!

LOL how do you like snowstorm francesco? I'm in green bay and we just got 10 inches our cars won't be coming out for WEEKS

Speak of the Devil!! Good ol' minnesota snow storm at the end of March. Wonderful.

Mn 370 z...
 

My 2010 Z has 6500 miles on her now. I will shut the Z down soon. When the salt and sand starts to coat the roads.

Lets get something together next year :tiphat:
