:iagree:

I had a winter beater my first winter owning the Z... but it killed me every day not to drive it. Life was boring.

Now.... :driving:

They probably have a point given most SUVs cost as much as the Z

I think their comments are all based on jelly and day dream like most spec racers. :hello:

I agree.

My Z doesnt go out in the snow. Nor should it. Thats what my SUV is for.

Agreed.

My car is in the garage when the snow comes. I have an SUV for that reason. A POS AWD beater could be had extremely cheap...

And in some cases for the same price as a set of winter tires/rims:tup:

You'd think it was cool the first time it happened. Then you'd hate it. The snow isn't the problem, it's the salt that destroys the roads that won't get repaired until it's about to snow again... If the roads here didn't get ravaged every winter my car would be lowered with a nice set of rims.. Unfortunately one pothole or uneven road here and you're done...

Unfortunately i have this problem as well. Not with salt as much but with potholes. I just recently had to air back up my tire and check for a leak because of one. When i get my 370z you better believe its staying on the main roads and wont be lowered til i get into a better living area. On a good note. I didnt have a leak in my tire. Dont really know how it got flat but iknow that pothole did it.

For full disclosure I learned and used to deliver pizzas with rear-wheel drive cars when I was in high-school, so I have a lot of experience and confidence in my winter driving ability. As has been said, the clearance is the issue and there is a splashguard just before the front tires that will get ripped off if there is any significant amount of accumulation. The bad news is it costs $400 to replace, but the good news is that it is completely useless as it only covers three bolts. I just remove it in the winter when I put my snow tires on and put it back on in the summer.

As far as stopping and turning, I feel safer in the Z with Blizzaks, VDC and ABS than I did in my Tacomas with all terrain tires. I just don't get up to speed as fast. The Z is my daily driver which I do drive in the snow regularly.

That front chin spoiler is useless:icon17:
