I could do year round if I really wanted, I have a set of BFG Comp2 A/S. But it's not the weather that is the worrying factor, its the drivers in the Vancouver area is what the concern is. It's almost like a free for all at times lol

2nd winter for me 2SS V8. Winnipeg has nasty winters, Pirelli Scorpion 20's on rims from a 2015 SS. I have had zero issues, love this car!

Buy a beater and save the car,there is no way your ever going to convince me that you won't get rock chips or salt blasted with the roads we have in Canada.i drive for a living 5,000 Kim's a week and my truck gets blasted on highway or city.Doesnt make sense to me to buy such a great looking car to have to swirve for falling chunks of ice and snow drifts but that's my thoughts.

No way. My ZL1 with 650 HP is a great winter car. I went with 19" with Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4's. Just can't be crazy with the throttle.

This is my second winter. No damage or chips.
Sure a few light scratches....but you just polish them out

I think both would be a ton of fun and manageable. the only one I'd be worried about is the 6.2L.

I have a 2013 F150 4x4 for those really bad days. Even though today is quite warm and the roads are clear I drove the truck today. Luckily I did, because my parking lot has huge melted ruts and rivers of water in them. I think this is only the 3rd time I've taken the truck. The truck wears Blizzaks all around and I don't think it has the outright grip the Camaro has. Just better ground clearance and 4x4 to get started off. This is NOT Camaro friendly!
