Been wondering about that, Its rear wheel drive and seems to be geared pretty low. No snow yet, so we will see.

Sad time of year for many Vette owners. Mine is not put away yet, but Tuesday we got our first snow. Won't be long now before mine goes into hibernation.

I hated that mercury lolProbably will after a couple new york winters
The bright side is that it keeps the mileage down, and it feels SO good to bring it out in the spring

Nice winter rat, here is mine. Up here in the mid-west I run snow tires in the winter. With the 50/50 weight distribution and the rear wheel driver the snow tires makes this car almost unstoppable in the snow. As well stopping distance is cut in half.
I highly recommend getting winter wheel and tire set-up.
