I`ll walk before I attempt an F-body in the snow! The rain is bad enough. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

BTW, I got the job......... oil cooler, bigger rear bar, sticky tires...........



My '89 Formula was my daily driver, snow and all. And I spent 5 years with my 2002 Z28 as my daily driver, snow and all. It never missed a beat and I had no issues with it. I'd do it again.

Me too, I drive mine in the snow every year with no trouble... ok, some trouble, but that's why we're drivers and not passengers, right? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

...make that three of us driving f-bodies in the snow... Snow tires make a world of a difference (thanks, Trackbird!). I think my F-body is better in the snow that my previous-previous-previous snow car - 1983 Monte Carlo SS.

No problem Keith. I ran Goodyear Eagle RSA's the first year (they came on the car) and I only had trouble twice. Once I was turning through a snow bank where they had plowed and I got stuck (I'd have probably been stuck on snow rubber too) and once my driveway froze into a huge sheet of ice and I couldn't get up it until I chipped some of it off. Those were both on the Eagle RSA's. Once I switched to dedicated winter rubber, I never got stuck again. This includes backing out into my alley when it had 4" of ice frozen in it and someone had driven a jeep down it before it froze, so it had huge ruts. I managed to get out, get into the ruts and motor along. My neighbors just stared at me.
