Default Extremly rare C4

Northern New England Limited Edition Snowplow C4

Available only to the die hard Corvette owners that refuse not to have a Corvette available year round. Discontinued after one year deemed impractical.

To keep it C6 related I would never subject my C6 to this. They're not like kids so I can play favorites.

Some people drive theirs no matter what the weather! You bought it, and if you can safely drive it...drive it and have fun!

It must be interesting to drive a C4 in snow that deep.

Those tire chain things look cool.

I just had one heck of a time getting my wife's Mustang GT up our driveway. Snow / ice, hard packed, very hard to shovel... tried several times just flying up with a running start but no traction whatsoever... couldn't get more than halfway up before bogging out with wheels spinning. Car has a full tank of fuel and I have 150 lbs of cement blocks in the trunk... tires are good too... but still no go. Had to break my back and do some shoveling, finally got it up. I think those tire chain things would have helped here... gotta look into that.

Now that's Hard Core. I'm proud of you . I just drove my CE over the Snoqualmie pass here in Washington and drove through heavy snow. It was not sticking though.

If you can afford a Corvette you should be able to afford something to drive in the snow. Proper tool for the job. I have a Tahoe it works great

Try it in reverse, it worked once in a Camaro I had.
