That's the similar 2LT Non-RS model I have in the video. Mine came stock with 19" Pirelli P-Zero Nero All Season tires. Never seen snow in my life, but I wonder how these tires are in the snow.

I feel a little sorry for all the people who don't drive their Camaro in ice and snow because the car is "too nice". With the traction control and stability control turned off, they are so much fun to drive in winter!

I remember the good ol' days when all cars were rear wheel drive, v8, and no such thing as traction control, stabilitrak, or anything of that nature. We all seemed to get where we needed to go when we needed to go there.

I like at the end where it says not to try it.

I know there is a lot of times during the winter that I could take my SS out and have zero problems but it is not the snow as much as it is the ash/limestone chips/ and to a lesser degree salt that I am trying to avoid. will park mine and save the paint from all the sh*t they coat the roads with around here. can have plenty of fun in the other 9 months I drive her!

Like a mountain goat.

I got 245/45/20 Blizzaks

Yeah, it really should be noted that particular car is equipped with All Season Tires. It really doesn't matter that it's a V6, a V8 would do just as well with the proper tires.
I have 20" All Seasons and can get around pretty well with no issues.

When we get snow in columbus ohio, its not me...its the other drivers I am scared of!
just 2 weeks ago we had a bad ice storm. I left the SS parked in the garage.

Yeaah, I was thinking of buying snow tires for my SS and roughing it out through winter, but then realized I don't trust everyone else..
If I am unable to fix my winter DD then I will get the tires, should know in a few days

Oh the fun you can have in the snow with these cars and with a set of Blizzaks, you never need to worry about getting stuck. I know I never had any problems.

SIN R G · 12-01-2014, 10:35 PM

I am not afraid to drive my Camaro in the snow, I just choose not to. I wonder how many times that Camaro got stuck during the shooting of that vid?

Stop it! You're making too much logical sense.
