Well... theres 4 minutes and 41 seconds of my life gone.

I thought that the activating the traction control would help here. ( I read this years ago, but never drove my vettes in the snow)

Has the C5 General section been deleted?

I'll bet they'd love to see this.

I've driven my C5 and C6 in the snow; never had a problem. The key is all weather tires; summer tires in any car will not go anywhere in the snow. That's why I didn't get my 07 with the Z51 package; summer tires.

Default Vincy says my C6 will be good in the snow.

My husband vincy, remember the ladder and battery guy, told me my C5 would do great in the snow and I could drive it year round.

This is for a video! We don' need no stinkin' traction control!

I haven't driven my C6 in the snow - yet - but previous Corvettes were far BETTER than most other cars I drive because of the anti-slip differential and traction control. I know the C6 is better in the rain than the Hondas, Toyotas and Pontiacs I've driven recently. And that is with the Z51 Supercar tires everyone complains about.

That clown wouldn't have been able to get any other car going any better the way he was driving it.

BTW, the above comments are for 3 inches or less of snow on the road. Once the bottom starts dragging all bets are off.
