I was just out(CT here) in our mini-van('bout 2.5" of snow on the ground) I couldn't imagine the vette staying straight in this! Once the roads clear, it's goin' back on the road though :D

Re: snow bound
I drove through about 2" of snow and made it home no problem. The ASR, and brand new kumho 712's got me home. wasn't too bad. going uphill is a challenge, but otherwise ok. The ASR and ABS really works nice.
the problem is the Aholes behind me who tailgate in the snow. you know they can't stop and will rearend you. That was the worst part.

Re: snow bound
have the LT4 out again today. It's really not too bad at all.
My 89 f-body is totally useless in the snow, but the C4 with ASR and ABS make it very driveable. and there was a C5 driving down the road next to me!! With a little momentum, I didn't get stuck at all. Only one street had 3" on it, and that caused a little concern, but I made it out :rolleyes:
I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for the brand new kumho tires .
