get a winter 4x4 or studded snow tires and hold up traffic. While everyone laughs at you for driving a Camaro in the snow. Sorry but everyone I know including me will figure you are some kid that spent all your money on a summer car and can't afford a winter vehicle. Nothing against you op just thats what people will think. Its real funny when it snows around here and you see all the mustangs in the ditch with some kid standing next to it. But kill a family because your on summer tires and i wouldnt blame some one for killing you.

People laughing? That's what everyone thinks? The car in a ditch? Rambling on about killing people? What bullshit. I know it's Friday but ease up on the sauce JC!

You have heard the answers.

I can only add, DO NOT drive the stock Pirelli P-Zeros in the snow. Especially if you have the SS. (can't tell from your pic)

Good luck, make a smart decision before next winter.

I haven't heard anyone express those opinions before JC. Around here the vehicles in the ditch that people are laughing at are the SUVs on the roof because the driver's think the laws of physics don't apply to them.

Some people (like me) don't want the hassle and expense of a dedicated winter car. I've been there done that, and it's a waste of time and money IMHO. These Camaros are more than capable enough to handle winter. Maybe in some areas there might be a legitimate need for a truck, but around here they plow the roads after it snows so I have never had the need for a vehicle that can drive through several feet of snow...

I've lived in the north all my life and you put winters on just about any car and you should not have any trouble. If you have common sense that is.

I drive mine in the winter by the way. With a set of Blizzaks it handles great.

I haven't even got mine yet and I've told the parts department at my Chev dealers to line me up winter wheels and Blizzaks. I hate to think of winter in the spring but I don't want to be told at the last minute they can't get em. Wife wouldn,t be happy to know we're sharing her Rav4 all winter.

Move to Arizona. We can see the snow on San Francisco Peaks...140 miles away, while we swim in our pools in Phoenix

sounds like this guy who was jealous when I bought a new 4x4 pickup. said it was a waste of money he would never buy a 4x4. then calls me to tow him home because hes stuck it the road. He did it twice.

I drove in two major snowstorms last winter, one a blizzard. The highways were packed snow on top of ice, plows gave up. The people with 4x4s weren't at work. I got up early, drove my 1SS to my parents' house, shoveled them out. Drove to work on the empty highway. I clocked in at my usual time, 7am.

Nobody is arguing that a Camaro is better than a "4x4" but AWD, RWD, FWD or 4WD, a sliding tire has no directional stability. The people that you know don't know how to drive.

Dude, just drive the hell out of it now, winters gone! Start shopping for snow tires in September.

Im not saying the Camaro isnt good in the snow. it weighs 3800lb. thats good for the snow. But I get really pissed when I see a accident and it is some kid driving on summer tires. What if some kid killed your kid because they bought a car and couldn't afford winter tires. Im not bad mouthing the op or anyone that drives their car in the snow. just you better have the right equipment to do it safely. Iv only been driving 4x4 trucks for 19 years and iv never gone off the road or been in a accident because conditions. Around here we see a lot of kids in mustangs with $3000 rims in the ditch even when we get just a dusting. The heavier the vehicle the better. A 6000lb truck is much better in the snow then a 4000lb car. hands down. I use 4 studded snow tires on my trucks.

...and yet you also posted that you think "laughing" at them is friendly or pleasant or appropriate, and since you're "pissed off" at people you never even met that didn't do anything wrong, you think you have justification.

You're assigning negative qualities to members here based on people that have nothing to do with this conversation. You went from you laughing at them, to people you know laughing at them, to calling them kids- poor kids at that- and you also keep suggesting it's reckless: "some kid" gets killed "my kid" gets killed...now you say "no offense". Well you have been offending, and all because we said the Camaro can be driven in snow. Do you read what you post, man?

Stop ascribing the failures of specific ignorant and dangerous people to the people here you're supposed to get along with please. I'm sorry if your family had a tragedy from somebody driving dangerously but I didn't do it and nobody else here did either.
