Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Summer tires are not meant to perform in cold weather. That's what the all-season tires are for.

Sorry, my point was about the tires, not the car itself. I guess I need to go back and make my OP clearer on that point.

As I stated before, I think the Pirellis should be their own option and not thrown into the RS package. I don't want to have to buy a set of new tires (or a "beater car") so I can drive in cold weather. New tires adds another $800 - $1000 (guesstimate) to the price of a brand new car. Point being, some would count that as a mark against the Camaro in favor of the Mustang, which, from the video, obviously doesn't have that problem. Again, I don't have to change my tires because of where I live, but I don't want to worry if it's been really cold for a couple of days that I have reduced traction.

If you live in Michigan like I do or a cold weather state its pretty much the norm that you don't get a car like this unless you have a winter beater, meaning you aren't driving this thing is bad weather period. At least it holds true when buying pure V8 high horsepower cars.

I think 80% is a high estimate considering the majority of the country doesn't have as much severe weather as the extreme north. Therefore we can drive our muscle cars year-round. Where I'm from having a "beater" isn't a necessity, it's a luxury. Yes, we have some freezes, but they usually don't last more than a couple of days and don't occur more than a handful of times per yr.
