PS4S in the 50's aren't terrible on a stock suspension setup. It doesn't get much lower than that too much in Central Texas, and if it does I try not to go out anyway.

Ah I follow. No real driving you mean. Yeah I know what you’re referring to then.

It does drop below that here in Memphis. Pretty much 45 and lower I don’t take it out.

Old ??
I seem to remember listening to them and Jan & Dean on AM radio while talking to my girl friend on our rotary dial phone (that was on a party line with our neighbors).

NOT while listening to 'The Oldies'.

I use AM radio even today. I’ve used rotary phone and party line.

I like good music.

It's simple.

Engines like cold dense air, Tires don't
Tires like warm/hot weather, engines not so much

Old people like warm weather.

When I take the Camaro out on the rare 50 degree days in the winter, I'm dropping the top and enjoying myself. Not pushing the car even a little bit.

I know exactly what you mean. I have two friends, one with a C6 and one with a Camaro with supercharger. Both are have wheel spin by just locking at the throttle when wet. When it’s dry...holy moly the Car stick on the ground like glue.

Since I replaced my OEM tires with the Continental DWS06 I'll drive more in the colder temps. The thing that keeps me off the roads are the ice melt solutions that get used around here.

Wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.
