I'm considering buying a used GTO as a daily driver (my hyundai died, and my Vette is the garage queen) , however i'm worried about what it would be like to drive this car in the ice/snow.
I have a 70 mile round trip commute to work each day on the Garden State Parkway, and worry that I might find myself doing donuts or end up in a ravine if driving a 350hp car in the snow/ice.
The other car i considered was is a Cobalt SS, which gets about the same highway mileage, but has FWD and is probably a little more managable in NE winter weather.
What has been your experience driving your car in adverse conditions? Do winter tires help at all?
I love my vette and see the GTO as a panacea to everything thats wrong w/ vette as a daily driver. The GTO is relatively quiet on the highway as opposed to my vette equip w/ an aftermarket droning exhaust. Secondly, the Vette w/ it's Z51 suspension, and aftermarket rims/tires...i feel every piece of gum in the road. The ride in the GTO seemed much more luxurious, while still maintaining the sportiness i'm accustomed to.
What do you guys think?
