Winter driving
All of you 'vette owners out there who put your babies to sleep for the winter are really missing out! The 'vette is SOO much faster in the winter! Kinda makes up for the fact that I can't take the top off any more (unless I wanna become a human popsicle).

Re: Winter driving (Feenix566)
I'm just across the border in NY and must agree completely; I too love driving the Vette in cold weather. :cheers:
I just had her out this afternoon for my lunch drive; on the 1-2 shift it no longer chirps the tires...the back-end just fish-tails, like crazy...! :D
It will get even better this winter when temps drop into the 20s & 30s.
If you realy want to enjoy that speed, bring her to Raceway Park when the strip opens in March! :yesnod:

Re: Winter driving (rwd)
Hey winter driving in the vette is the best time here. The temps are finally cool enough to keep the top off and you can turn a little heat on if you need it. Also the air is more condensed in the winter and here the humidity is sometimes much lower so they tend to run much better :smash: Hell anything would be better than 100 + degrees with 90 % + humidity. Last weekend the high was 58 degrees with 85 % humidity, my car felt like it just had a tune up :lol:
