Remember guys, it's the rubber COMPOUND and not the tread design that is doing most of the work when it's cold and dry. Even if it isn't raining, summer tires get too hard to be of much good when needed (panic stops, etc) if they are cold. That's why snow tires are so soft. They need to be to remain pliable. I have many customers who drive TT's with Blizzaks and they get around fine. The C2S actually drives GREAT in the snow with the proper tires.

 

I personally believe that Porsche's are great in the snow... for sports cars. Engine over the drive wheels does a great job. It all depends on having the proper tires.

A GT3 though! Remember no sound deadening, no undercoating. Porsche does use galvinized steel, so rust isn't a big deal. The idea of hearing every sand pebble hit the shell makes me cringe.

If you absolutely need to drive it 12 months a year, are you sure the GT3 is for you??? I've always found it's nice to have a beater for winter driving

 

who cares anything about the tires?!?!?!!? the car has no underbody coating! the salt they use in the northeast winters will eat the car ALIVE!!!! not everything is galvanized, and even if it was, galvanizing isn't corrosion-proof. it's only a corrosion inhibitor!
