I love when I get the chance to drive my C2 in this kind of weather, preferably though with no one around me and unplowed streets like this

That's awesome !! Have you had much snow this year ? We've only got one big storm earlier this year. I would consider some Rubber Floor Mats if you don't have them already. Enjoy

I would recommend an upgrade to a C4S, then you can drive it in the snow and still enjoy it!! All I get is rain out here in Cali....wouldn't want all that snow and the salt that comes with it on my ride.

It snows like that usually about 5-10 times a year but this year it is the first time so far. Already got my rubber mats but I'm looking into the Major maintenance kit from you guys.

@RaidersR1: The C2 actually handles really nicely in the snow as it is an extremely controllable drift if you start loosing traction. The salt is pretty bad out here but you just need to wash your car regularly and your pretty good.

I used to drive my 996 (later my E46 M3) in the snow - Minnesota snow, and agreed on handling. I ran Pirelli Winter Sport tires.

Without winter tires there would be no way I'd drive the car with that amount of snow or even if its too cold for summer tires. And I'm really positively surprised how well it still handles with the 19" Winter tire setup (235 fronts and 295 in the rear) I've tried out this year for the first time. The only thing is it's hard to get the rear winter tires as they don't sell them everywhere. But I still love driving it everyday as it's my only car and now it will turn in 6 weeks into our family car including our little daughter riding in the back!! Can't wait for her to experience it :-)!!

I had snows on my 335 for the winter and it dynoed at over 400 whp. I was fine. Having the right tire is all that matters.
