camaro v.s. snow

ok well today we had about an 1/8 inch of ice and just a coating of snow on top of that and it took me no kidding like ten minutes just too move my car two feet to the middle of the road!!! its like rididng a skate board to work but u know money dosent make itself unfortunatly do chains help any or does the lack of weight over the drive tires just screw u no matter what u do

i dont know why you have so much trouble driving in the snow.. throw a couple sand bags in the hatch and you should be good to go.. my car has survived 2 Michigan winters.. and starting #3 unfortunately..

i dunno about snow just got mine this summer but this was the first winter wether weve had this year and it was ice im bout to finish building my speaker box and w/ the three twelves in it it should add at least 100 pounds to the back i sure hope it helps

tires play a big factor in winter driving for camaros.... my car gets stuck in 1 inch of snow in the driveway but it has summer performance tires on it... get a good set of all around tires and add some weight like kaotic said and you should be good to go.... also remember the added power factor you need to compensate for when not getting traction....

My car doesn't move one inch on ice or 1/8th a inch of snow. Z rated tires are damn horrible for winter. It's bad when you need a 80 mph running start for like a 24 degree incline @ 500 feet. It sucks..almost wish I had some better tires for it but for now and the last two months , she's been sitting . Not for winter i've decided.

Just let her creep , Put it in gear let it roll on from idle. If you are at a stop light , roll on until about 7 - 10 mph and then ease into the gas very lightly.

You shouldn't be driving Camaros in the winter. The ground clearance sucks. All the salt that collects underneath the car is going to destroy it. You should have a back-up for the snow...if you can't afford it than I don't think you can afford a Camaro.

comments like that just piss me off...

* if you are any kindof driver, you should be able to tackle the snow in a RWD car.. if you wash the car there wont be a problem with salt although sand is what they use here.. and if someone doesnt feel the need to drive a "backup" in the winter its their business.. dont go insulting the great people who spend every last dime of theirs on the car and makin it better, thats where you get into problems. i know it wasnt aimed directly at me, but i fit into the following so you worry about your car.. and i'll drive mine.. by the way, thanks for PMing me a month and a half later..

Haha XD

You can't get underneath to wash unless you have a lift or you're three inches tall. Stick up for these dumbasses all you wan't, but you know I'm right. You don't drive a Camaro, or any sports car, in the winter unless you're going to keep it the rest of your life because nobody will touch it when the SEE it's been driven through winter.

haha^ you think everyone with a sports car just puts it away every winter. Ill guarantee you my car wont be sitting in the garage during winter. Not everyone can afford to have a sports car and another car. Especially us poor 16 year olds :rolleyes:

hahaha well first off have you ever heard of a car wash?? they wash the underside of your car very well..... if you have to drive a camaro in the winter you do, its very do-able..... and im sure you will find it very hard to find a car that hasnt been driven in the winter once or twice.... sure everyone says never seen snow but its very easy to say that .... try and prove them otherwise..."dumbass"

Well, they're your pieces of shit. Enjoy.

Now now , no pissing contest children. Let people express their own opinions with out calling them names. They will prove what they are in their statements.

Dude can't you make a point without the name calling, :nono:

lol agreed

Having looked for camaros for a few years I think its pretty easy to tell if its been driven in the winter. You have to get underneath and look but theres definately little spots that rust right away.

Obviously not , which is why I posted previously what I did .

Yeah, actually you can get underneath it to wash it without a lift. You could just go to a car wash that sprays under your car, or even though it may blow your mind, drive it up on ramps and clean it one side at a time.

He can't cuz he's a homo.

just cause someone owns a camaro doesn't mean they have all this money to buy other cars.........do you even know how much a camaro costs? if you did you wouldn't be making an ignorant comment like that

Yeah what she said :1: , Werd to your sexy sexy mother.

homo's make ignorant comments like that, it's just the way they are.

Yeah I think it has something to do with loving the c*ck!

damn i never thought such a non sided question would stir up so much hatred, and are u sayin if u go to buy a regular sedan or some kinda rice mobile u probably drive that if they tell u its been drivin in the snow u dont buy it...come on now just cause its a sports car dosent make the metal they use rust any easier than a cadalac

exactly! there is nothing wrong with driving a camaro in the winter! 2 points for everyone who understands that..

I understand because i'm not a homo like dredlockboy is.

thats why you get 2 points Geno..

Not a homo haha >.< Damn , this thread went nuts. I've mobbed mine during winter , I don't like to because of Z rated smooth grove with center line buldge in the tires but I still have done it...then...I killed the radiator.

i hate dumb people.....

you only get one point since you're Bi.

No no no , not bi !!!

hes not bi.. he gets no points for being completely gay.. lol

I'm not gay..i'm just super happy o.o

Mine's starting her 2nd winter. I'm trying no sandbags this time, I'm thinking they didnt help when my shocks and springs were dying.

For better SNO-GO you need to take off the superwidesand put on a set of narrow mud/sno tires. All four..§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§REFUSE . . TO . . LOSE§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§

We really don't have much winter weather to worry about down here in New Orleans (except yesterday, my first White Christmas!) but if we did I'd still drive my camaro! ANY car could have issues with the snow, not just sports cars.

As long as you drive safely and slowly and don't use the goddamn brake you should be ok in a RWD car, except for beyond six inches of snow
