I currently own a 2003 GTS eclipse. Im definately interested in getting a Z, but when winter comes around its going to be my only source of transportation. So im wondering what current Z owners think of driving in the winter with the Z. Is it a huge hassle or is it do-able? thanks in advance...

 

I've heard more than a few people switch to Blizzak's tires, helps some. http://www.tirerack.com/winter/tech/...jsp?techid=116

Most get a beater for winter.

 

def. do-able... lotsa members do it

 

Welcome. The 350Z was never intended to drive in the snow, still there are more than 98 threads addressing the subject. For a daily driver in a snowbelt state, there are better choices.

 

DUDE.... an eclipse GTS??? thats going to be like going from a hyundai to a ferarri who cares just do it. buy a 300 dollar 87 blazer s10 for winter....

 

Move to Texas, Arizona, southern Cal, or Florida.

 

are you really comparing a 350z to a ferrari?




















































350z's are much faster

 

y are all these people making threads about buying a new/used z without SEARCHING beforehand? These threads are starting to annoy me... There are THOUSANDS of other ppl who have had the same questions b4

 

Make sure you drop that eclipse off at your local junkyard when you're done with it.

 

You're saving the next potential owner from much embarassment by doing so.

 

With Blizzacks and TCS/VDC, lots of folks here drive Zs in winter without a problem.

 

RSX still better



























Sorry I had to

 

lol at davidv's screen shot...def. some pwnage

 

dave has nothing to do with his life

 

As always the Rat says the most with the least words.

There are several good winter tires which are fundamental for the Z with it's wide wheels and over-power potential on snow and icy conditions. Clearance can be a factor depending on where you live and if they plow the roads.

 

If NYC cab drivers can do it in their ****ty Crown Vics and Towncars with generic $20 tires from Costco, then a 350Z can do it with TC/VDC and snow tires.

 

well i found it kinda funny haha

 

How often do you really drive in the snow where you live? Its only about two or three times here where you are actually driving ON snow. The roads are cleared by the next day. I plan on taking off from work when the roads are snowcovered

 

i think Houston, TX is due for a snow storm this year....yup, that entails a few flakes coming down with a little rain and then melting once it hits the ground....that should last for about ummm...hopefully at least 30 minutes this time around....yeah....DAMN IT, I HAVE NEVER HAD A WHITE CHRISTMAS...maybe it's cuz I'm Asian...egh...I bet some people say the same thing but instead of white, they say "DAMN IT, I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ASIAN CHRISTMAS"...but then, white in that first quote refers to snow...so to say an Asian Christmas will really make you look stoopid...along with spelling stoopid with two O's...
