How does the 370z perfom in the winter weather?

36 degrees here today with dense fog and slick roads. drove to work on stockers and checked the news...nope Hilter still hasn't risen from the dead, no baby unicorns were killed and I'm as unproductive as ever. Maybe the wrold will end tomorrow if I drive with my summer tires in the winter time

I'm driving my summer tires in cold weather this winter as well. I borrow my sister's car when there's snow or ice. That said, I still haven't decided if I want to try to get a winter beater for next year or just get winter tires. I'm not worried about the drivability as I've driven a RWD sportscar in the snow for the past 12 years. On one hand, I won't have to worry about someone sliding into my Z and, on the other, I don't know if I can take not driving my car for that long. I was having major withdrawals from the last storm that lasted about a week and a half...lol.

The obvious answer is to get something that's equally fun to drive in inclement weather but I don't think my budget will afford that.

I would recommend winter tires now.....
Even if there is no snow....
If u ever need to accelerate or brake hard for an emergency when she's a very cold outside....
U won't
You'll simply spin the wheels or slide away

I'm very aware of this and adjust my following distance and speed accordingly. It's not optimal but I always do some breaking and acceleration tests to see where my limits are under these conditions. If it's too cold and traction is severely compromised I'll make other arrangements.
