Somewhere below freezing. When it was my only car, I had to go skiing middle of the week once. No problems despite the snowy roads. BTW, 203 cm skis will fit INSIDE a convertible with the top up (just no passenger).

Re: Coldest weather driven Vette in? (Larry82)
Well, I used to think I was doing my old 79 a favor by taking it out only on days when the roads were clear which was about once a month. Here in western Canada it can dip below -40 celcius .(-40c is -40f right??). Sometimes the windchill factor can make it as cold as -60! I only did it to keep the fluids turning. Turned out that it didn't really matter cause the car got parted out mostly do to the fact that it had a rotted frame. It came from eastern Ontario. :(

About -25F. The cold air makes for good hp when the engine finally warms up, but the tires arent very sticky at this temp. (I have to admit that was my C4, I dont think the C3 has been out below freezing.
