Question for Minnesota or Midwest 370z owners

Garaged my car for the winter... no idea how it is but I did drive a SUV.

If you got near 2 foot of snow like we did in Chicago then you will not be able to drive the Z even with snow tires. You will just push snow. Other than that if you had snow tires you would be fine.

IMO if you can drive a Civic in the snow, you can drive the Z with snow tires.

False back at ya.
I've driven the last two winters with snow tires on the Z.
Remember when ALL cars were RWD?

I hate detailing. I like the results, but hate the work. No garage either.

And I keep my stuff in a food cooler.

Having lived in Mound MN (on lake Minnie) for three years, I would advise against driving the Z in snow. I would recommend driving your FWD civic during snow days. Thats what I did.

Some on here will say that "you can do it with snow tires" and you can. That being said, the way the weight is distributed in the Z makes it difficult even with snow tires.

I wouldnt risk it........but thats me.
