How does the 370z perfom in the winter weather?

Man, that is butt cold. NO THANKS. I would be hibernating like a bear. See ya in the spring.

I didn't read any of the other replies but IMHO it drives better than most rear wheel drive cars as long as you have 4 snow tires

Snow tires, the lsd, and traction control make it pretty capable in winter conditions. A lot of people who feel uncomfortable driving in snow think they have a car issue but often a dedicated set of winter tires is what they really need.

Dang it! I was going to call you out on the Celsius thing, but -40 is the breakover point where the two are the same. Yikes. That's frickin' cold.

I've come to the conclusion that the biggest issue with driving in the snow is ground clearance. I've had a set of snow tires on since November and I haven't had any traction problems. Anything more than 4 inches of snow and you risk turning the car into a snow plow. Especially if you have the sport package front spoiler.

between mid-jan til now i've seen 3 seperate 370's (red, blue, white) and a handful of 350's... i just shake my head since my OCD'ness is like CLEAN THE FK'IN CAR but i know it's impractical.

brave souls... especially in the snow! lol

I took my car to the hand wash spot yesterday to get all the crap off it and it snowed again this morning.

I'm not really OCD and it's my DD so it comes with the territory but Spring can't get here soon enough!

If your in Markham area you might see mine. I drive from Niagara to Markham, 240 KM's, about 3-4 times per week. It's impossible to keep clean, the powdery salt haze covers the car within I trip on the highway.

Same here, I only drive it once or twice a week, but it gets dirty quick. I just quit washing it a couple weeks ago. I'll start washing it again when the temps get closer to 0c, no point in doing it when it's this cold.

I'll drive mine if it's been clear for a few days. I really like the way the car feels when it's breathing in all that cold air, but I do miss having traction.

But if it even looks like it may have the possibility of maybe becoming crappy... oh hell no. I have an old beater S10 that if someone hit or something happened to it, I'd shrug and be annoyed. If something happened to the Z I'd cry.

I drive mine all winter long. Of course I live in Georgia where the winters aren't bad. The Stock tires were awful when it got cold. I have Advan Sport A/S
tires now for the winter and they work pretty well. Mine doesn't move if there is snow or ice.

The best part about winter is watching it happen from Southern California Get to drive my Z all year haha
