Every morning when I get up, for the past 30 years, I stand on my head and spit 4 jellybeans. At 68 I have no heart disease -- therefore, standing on your head every morning and spitting 4 jellybeans prevents heart disease.

Right? Is my logic flawed? Attachment 48332111

FOUR!!!! Crap and I'v been only spitting three.

Three is for cancer, so you're good there. Better get the ticker checked though.

These cars do not have an issue with the cold. The owners are a different story......

I drove my '05 over the Rockies in a blizzard.

Scary as all get-out, but no "problem." I could even post a pic of the car in a snowstorm (a different one) if you want visual proof that they can handle it just fine.

I have had an issue with my 5.3L Suburban in cold (colder than you are reporting, -10F) the throttle body being a little dirty is made worse by the fact that the aluminum body shrinks and it sticks. Throttle body is the same on the Corvette, but cleaning the throttle body and the MAF takes care of things.

I do not know this to be a Corvette problem, but my old truck (Chevy Avalanche 5.3) had a cold running problem that would go away when the engine warmed up. It turned out to be the intake manifold gasket. When it would get cold, the gasket would suck in and create a vacuum leak. When it warmed up, it sealed up and was fine. I replaced the gasket and problems was resolved.

AGAIN... I don't know this to be a Corvette problem. There are other possible explainations for a cold weather drivability problem.

For the record, my Corvette runs fine at those temperatures.

I've never had a problem driving my Vette in sub-30-degree weather. In fact, it runs great.

The only issue that I have (in colder temps) is that the manual shifter can be rough going into 2nd (from 1st) when it's not completely warmed up. So, sometimes I start out in 2nd to eliminate that issue. Once warmed up, it shifts great.

I've been running the older Continental DW summer tires - and they do just fine in colder temps. Traction is decent, but they do ride harder. It's getting time for me to replace them. Unfortunately, the tread compounds on the newer summer tires won't allow them to be driven much below 40. So, next year, I'm going to try all-season tires.

Wrong. Mine has done just fine when I've driven on some of the recent cold days we've had here.

It can if a motor mount is marginal. The rubber collapses.

Its not the cold in your example that is the problem.A faiIed part is the issue.If you had a 2" hole in a tire would you also blame that on the cold?

If you read the book "All Corvettes are Red" you will see that at least since the C5s came on the market, Vettes have been tested in exteme cold. All systems are designed to work in this environment. Only problems are warm weather tires and low ground clearance.
If your car runs poorly, it's probably not the temperature.

Mine doesn't run at all below 40 degrees. Probably because I don't go outside below 40 degrees.

Maybe it is shivering instead of vibrating.
