It sat there all winter and during rainstorms but since my DD keeps needing parts I have been using the Z as a DD. This means through rain and everything - and.. yeah it gets a little dirty, but it can be washed and waxed! It performs really well even on wet roads.

I drive it every day unless training for napping competition. And NEVER in mid-to-early afternoon.

Seems like the majority of people have bought the Z as a weekend and summer driver, I am still in the process of saving / shopping for a Z...so with good snow tires, does the Z handle well enough? I remember my first car was a rear wheel old mercury zephyr ...and I was only 16/17ish and I did ok with salt bags in the trunk .. but I would be getting a Z as a DD...so is it capable of handling snow? seems like a lot of people dont want anything to do with mixing the Z with snow lol..

mine is a garage queen. it's had merely 3K miles since I bought it new a year ago. And it never sees rain.

Only when the weather is nice. No rain or snow. She just came out of 5 months of hibernation in the hanger. She fits nicely under the wing of the King Air.

I drive mine about 50-60,000kms a year, and no problems in the winter, if you were able to get that old car around in the winter you'll have no problems with a Z and some good winter wheels and tires.

I don't have a 370, but I have another 2-seater sports car that is a "toy". I drive it the same way I would a 370Z. Fair weather only. What's the point driving the car in conditions that prevent you from...driving...the car? I have been in those 370Z's, and they like to spin the tires, even in dry weather. I cannot imagine a car like that in the rain being anything but a game of cat and mouse regarding maintaining traction.

Every other day, rain or shine..... Neither comes out in Ice etc although don't trust other drivers. It's just a Z and it "aint" going to be worth nothing in no time soon if at all so I roll it.....lol.

It's a second car for me and I drive it in all weather. But I'm in California so... :rolleyes:

its my DD. rain snow whatever. I avoid hale though

christian370z 04-07-2011 01:26 AM

I avoid driving in anything but dry conditions as much as possible so the Z has seen rain only a handful of times while driving. I don't care if it rains on the Z while it is parked but driving in the rain gets nasty grime into every single crack and crevice which drives me up the wall.

Then again, I do wheel off details every month or so... My OCD rulez my life!

370zproject 04-07-2011 01:38 AM
