    Who would drive a Z06 in the winter

    Hi , I Thought this was ODD in the parking lot going to Sport Check on Friday in our -25 winter.

    The car is worth about 90 gs here.
    Any thoughts on it.

    Why not? I'd drive the hell out of it. I'd DD a z06, in fact that's my plan in the next couple years. Put the right tires on it and it isn't a big deal, I've spent quite a bit of time driving them and it would be a great car to drive all year. I've never understood driving a nice car in the summer and a pos in the winter Maybe it's an american thing I dunno

    I'd drive snow rain ice and falling meatballs. It's just a frign car. Hell. I'd drive a F-40 in the winter. Enjoy it while you got it. Today, tomorrow or next week may be your last day.

    A few days ago. I just saw a new 911 Turbo driving in a snow storm. That's so awesome.





    Great quotes!!

    So one guy says it and everyone's on the band-wagon..

    I think it should be put away in hibernation until spring. The car has to be a pain to drive in snow..I would feel disgusted knowing there's gonna be salt on the undercarriage...and why risk ruining/wrecking it by a spin-out or someone else hitting you..

    My '77 handles the snow better than the Marauder. Maybe he owns a Marauder.

    There's a guy that lives over by me with a Z06 and parks it in the street and takes it out in the winter. Hes also the guy that is constantly stuck in the middle of the street and ripped the tail panel off 3 times.
