Anyone drive all winter?

[mwillems]

Just got my GT Convertible. And since I live in Ottawa, I’m not going to drive it in the winter. That said, I’ve been told that some people do.

Is that right? Does anyone here drive a Rear Wheel Drive Mustang with a V8 engine in a snowy winter? In other words, is there anyone living in a climate like mine who drives their Mustang all year round?

I do. But I live in FL, so thats cheating lol. I came from the north west and had friends back in the day driving cobras with sand bags in the trunk and winter tires on all 4 wheels and they would say they went through the snow like 4x4's.

Well, at least there’s one thing we have in common. You have salty air; we have salty snowy streets.

Rear wheel drive V8s are no problem in the snow. I grew up in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan. As a kid, barely any of us had four wheel peel. Just have to have good tires and know how to feather the gas.

And now with every car coming with traction control it's even easier.

People saying it’s fine have never dailied an 03 V6 with an open differential. I had snow chains and still had to get towed off the side of the road more than once. It was the absolute worst POS in any sort of inclement weather lol

I put on my 20” all-season setup and drive all winter in Chicago area.
I don’t have to drive in snow but love taking her out on a cold crisp day.
Couldn’t imagine not being able to have my therapy.
