Do you drive your Z in the winter (in snow and on ice)?
Nope, I have driven in snow with snow tires and it sucked. I have a dd and use it in the winter.
A friend of mine also bought new wheels and snow tires for the winter, let's say he sold them a month after.
It's a 287 hp RWD sports car.

I was driving my 08 Z in the snow this year. Here in Oklahoma, they don't really do much for the snowy roads at all, so no worries about salt. I had a blast, drifting empty parking lots. It did make me realize I need to upgrade my differential though
The 350 is my dd so I kind of have to drive it if it snows. Here in kansas there is an issue with salt so I try and spray it off including the wheel wells and undercarriage whenever I can to try and keep the salt at bay.
I got winters on front and summers on back and only issue is ground clearance. Got stuck once so far. But again just because of clearance. These cars aren't that bad in the snow.
I'm really worried about the salt tho as my city is a salt mine so we dump it by the ton on every road. Been washing it a lot. Wish I would have gotten an undercoat .....

I run blizzacks stud less snow tires on here in CO in the winter. Night and day difference between regular tires and snow tires. I've done 65mph on snow passing Subi's on the interstate. Pretty funny the look on their face.
I drive mine in the snow, ice, rain, summer... what ever.... of course im stationed at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, AK so I don't have much of a choice. how ever I do have a 2010 lancer GTS but I prefer the 350z its easier to control...
With Blizzaks, for the last few years. Without, except for really snowy days, on summer tires before that. As far as salt and damage, I have an '03 and there is not a spot of rust under or over.
I drove my old G35 coupe in the snow with good a/s tires & the main issue is the lack of ground clearance. I did make it through deep snow & ice that had a lot of SUV & AWD cars parked on the side of the road. It helps to turn the VDC & TCS off on these cars.
I drive mine every day in the snow. I also have Blizzaks on mine and they work great. It handles and stops better than most other car's I've driven in the snow. Launches require a little extra care and ground clearance can be an issue but other than that it's great fun. I think most people that say they are bad in the winter just don't know how to drive a RWD car in the snow. When I was growing up, not many people I knew even had AWD or FWD cars! The worst car I've driven on snow and ice so far was a Jeep Wrangler I had for a while. Man, that thing would try to spin around without any reason whats-so-ever. It was absolutely terrible. It only did well in deeper snow.
