I drove mine through all of last winter. I made it fine. That was the last winter this car will see. Its being garaged for this one.If you take it easy you will be fine. Just allow plenty of time for everything. Dont force quick left turns as they will lead to disaster. With that being said dont force anything.

Also its very possible to spin out in the rain. You see alot of summer tires that people run arent worth a rats a$4 in the rain. Especially DRs.

 

Mine is a daily driver, and is driven in rain all the time. Last year when we got a few inches of snow and ice, I drove it to work and back just fine.

Having a 6-speed helps a ton. I usually keep it a gear higher than usual. Start in 2nd and stay one gear ahead of where I would be if it wasn't snowing.

 

I am from mass and it sucks last winter i got stuck in my little driveway 2 times it is doable but it sucks! are you selling your car? If you keeping your car get a suv or a small good gas mnilage car it will help you save money for stuff for yours. Also i thought your mom was buyin you a vette or something????

 

I have a 99 Z28 convertible as my daily driver. It's seen what little snow Washington had but this year in Kentucky I'm sure it will see worse.

 

Winter driving is fun!!!

Even with stock tires, I made it through last winter OK.........just take it easy!

 

if your an experianced driver you can handle it.i know people who get side ways on purpose in the rain/snow with total controll not one have recked their cars doing that either

 

move down south! hehe I have put 24K miles in my cars first year (last week). Its definately my daily driver.

Down here in Houston all we have to worry about is the flash flood or storm.. Being near the gulf, the storms seem to come out of nowhere and are gone just as fast yet the streets will have a few high spots here and there..

 

Someone definately has it figured out

I made it through 2 winters in my old 88 Camaro. Yes, it was shy 150 hp from my LS1, but I had skinny *** tires (less weight distibution = more traction) plus had 2 70lb sandbags in the back. Never got stuck, and all this was in South Dakota. I'd love to get into a debate with anyone that thinks their winters are more harsh (not counting freak winters) If you drive like you don't have a pair ( ) You'll be fine. I put myself into out-of-control situations many times just to practice correcting it and being familiar with my limits. I highly recommend this. Find a big empty parkinglot and find out braking, accelerating, and turning limits. I really think the 2 winters I've been in have made me a MUCH better driver overall. Some great experience to be had

 

What is this "snow" you speak of??

 

I normally drive a 4 wheel drive Suburban and even in the rain it is stable as a rock. You can set the cruise and just steer with two fingers and do the posted speed even on rutted roads with deep puddles of water. The first time I drove my Z in the rain was a white knuckle experience. Every time I hit a rut filled with water it would lurch to that side. Trying to do the posted speed was impossible and one puddle pulled me completely into another lane. This was a new car with new tires. I won't let my wife drive it in the rain, especially on the crappy roads around here.

 

I drive mine as a daily driver, but I've got Falken tires on my Z, driven it in the rain several times and was very impressed with the wet traction. Haven't driven in snow yet because I got the car over the summer, but I plan on buying a beater for winter driving and garaging the Camaro. I did drive the V6 over last winter and it sucked hairy ballz... I'm sure the stock tires had something to do with it, but I don't want to go through that again. Even a medium incline was too much, I'd get halfway up and the tires would slip and I'd just go sideways... had to get a pretty good running start to make it to work every morning. Luckily I'm about 6 miles from work so it's not a huge deal, but I start at 5am and a lot of roads aren't plowed by then. I would really reccomend either snow tires or a beater for winter driving.

 

I am from MA also. I used to drive my Dad's C2500 RWD in the snow and it was predictable and fun and the snow. You could do some really fun controlled fish tails. I am new to the Z28 and only had it a month, what a great car. I just don't have the heart to send it through a NE winter, and kept my FWD Grand Am for that. Those big tires I think will just ride up on the snow. I have had to drive the Z28 in the rain and it was pretty reasonable but I kept the speed down. Good luck with your Camaro in the snow but like the others said, take it easy.
