C2 in the winter/snow

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone here drives their C2 in the snow/winter?
If so, what are your experiences with it?
do you also have the option PSM? or turn it off?
Thanks
Zak

I drove my 99 w/lsd and traction control a few times last winter, including a run from NY to MI in January.

The car performed flawlessly as I had a set of winter tires mounted up.

Would I take it out in a blizzard? No way. Not because I think that it would not do well, but mainly due to the other idiots on the road who forget what driving on snow covered roads is like.

This winter it won't be driven as it's going in for new bumpers, wing, paint and go fast goodies.

I drive my C2 as a daily... With snow tires the only thing that will stop you is ground clearance. On those days I take my Cayenne S.

I always have fun with my C2 once I see water running off from sprinklers!
