Buy a more expensive car if you want a garage queen, just get some snow tires and go zoom zoom

:iagree:

I have sport package 370Z. I got a second set of wheels (cheap, black painted 18") and tires (Blizzak LM-60) and everything has been great through my first winter in Mass.

Stock sport tires won't budge on a dusting of snow and the tires turn into hockey pucks from being so cold.

Was 1400 for wheels and tires all mounted and shipped from sponsor Tirerack. Just factor that into the price :)

Remember skinnier tires are better in snow. Also if you get wheels/tires all the same size and width, they can be rotated. Some people get spacers to bring them more flush with fenders. I say leaving it alone helps keep the dirty snow inside your wheel wells !

Bad idea. No big deal if you are driving a 8 year old honda civic fwd or something. Even in Michigan, where I grew up, we all drove in the snow, and even with fwd cars you will inevitably get into a bumber bender. It's unavoidable if you drive in snow regularly. If you live anywhere that has more gradients than hwy overpassess, never take out a rwd car unless you have SNOW tires, even then you're taking your chances with all the other morons, and there's lots of em out there.

ironically poor people tell me that all the time. :icon17:

The moral of this is it depends on how much snow your area gets also. If I lived in Michigan, I would have a nice older truck for winter. The 370Z generally does fine in my area though. I have insurance for fender benders.

If you really loved your Z, you'd never show it snow.

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

If I really loved my Z, I would drive it every opportunity I could get. ;)

: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:

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

:thumbsdown: Would not attempt it in the snow

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...
