Go buy a Jeep. You're rwd dodge will not survive a Wisconsin winter.

Can't believe you plan on driving that thing in Wisconsin during the winter. Zero traction plus tons of salt on the roads.....

Go buy an old Cherokee for the really deep snow days.

winter of 2012/2013 i drove my hemi charger

last half of last winter i drove my my 2011 hemi challenger

winter of 03/04 and 04/05 i drove my supercharged 91 mustang gt

im well use to rear wheel drive cars in winter lol.

The tcs/esp systems on these newer cars are pretty phenomenal for winter. Its near impossible to spin out if you leave the traction control on.

You would have to be from wisconsin and deal with snow over half the year to realize that driving in winter is little to no hassle. Do it so much that its second nature.. Its not like these so cal kids here that fear damp pavement lol.

Why is everyone so worried about rust?
Its a Dodge, it will fall apart long before the rust does its damage...



Why not buy a second set of rims in a better size for winter wheels? Less damage to the "nice" rims that way.

not worried about the rims, they are chrome clad, they are invincible to everything but direct impact from something. salts and what not wont do anything to them

Yeah I don't get people who think you need a new car for winter only. I used to bring the vette out in the snow even when I had dailys just to piss people at work and on the roads off lol.

my kinda guy right there, What made it even better is the vette actually handles the snow really well with the traction control and it being an auto and all.

I could just hit the gas and let the car handle the rest, if the tires would start to spin it would handle it, if it started to lose control active handling kicks in. Would be going by trucks and such like nothing.

Not that I couldn't easily just tap the gas and spin the tires but as long as you are light on the gas the corvette is a beast in the snow
