Put bigger wheels and tires on it. Pretty sure it's not the suspension that makes the Z lower than an SS. You can probably pick up some winter wheels and tires for not much over 1k.

If you enjoy driving it then DRIVE it! I daily drive mine about 25,000 a year and have about 81k on it now. It's my only car and sure at times I have to gut it up when stuff happens but I'd rather drive and enjoy this awesome car than not because I'm afraid or trying to keep the value up. I feel great and smile every day driving this car. Priceless !!!

I can't imagine stripping the Z/28 of its exclusive track components, just to use it as a DD in Illinois. If this is what you choose, it will only be a Z/28 in name and not much else. For the amount of money you are going to spend to modify the Z for winter use, you could easily use that money on a logical DD and use the Z as a weekend toy.

Your car, your choice. Be smart about this.

Seriously though, they are a ride that isn't for everyone, but for anyone who likes the feel of them and the road, its perfect.

Yeah ride quality is definitely subjective from one person to the next. I unfortunately haven't rode in a Z yet and was only going off of what I have seen others say. Maybe one day I will get that chance. They are amazing cars from what I've seen.
