Anyone here drive a thirdgen in the winter? I got stuck doing it this year and I'm finding that I like it better than every car ive driven so far. passed many ditched cars with third gen pride

 

I did it for 4 years LOL! All I can say is that you better have good tires and a set of brass you know whats. Eventually I got tired of getting stuck at home and invested in a 4x4. Now my camaro hibernates for the winter and I beat the hell out of my pickup.

 

I have a set of bridgestone winterforce tires, they are quite beastly. and honestly I don't see me getting stuck unless someone else puts me there. In my opinion the 5 speed and non-posi handle quite nicely. only real challenge I have is getting out of my driveway.

 

Ya I did it in a 79 T/A with a 403ci 4bbl in high school and then a 85 Z28 with a 305ci 4bbl, both of which had posi.

Now days I drive the plow truck so my drive and street are ALWAYS clear and I never get stuck LOL!

 

i did in high school....once, then bought a 4x4. given the T/A i had was a 383 and basically set up to go very fast lol.....right now i don't have a f-body, but i found one i want......and it will come home a be under a cover for a while....unless it never snows, than i will drive it

 

I drove my 88 to Kentucky last year in the middle of a snow storm to get some heads for it. There was an inch and a half of snow on the highway the entire 150 miles and I had a problem one time when going up a hill. My wheels spun a bit and we went a little sideways but i was easily able to correct and go on my way. Funny how I never had any problems once I got to the road, getting it out of the driveway in the first place was always my problem

 

same argument here, getting out of my driveway is really the only problem. Everyone I talked to said these cars are the worst in the snow, and yes they are if you don't know how to drive a RWD car in the first place, but now I have gotten to having fun around corners and catching up to pickups all the time. I even passed one who was for some lame reason doing a whole 15 mph. almost all the time I can do 45 without sliding at all. the rest of the winter will tell me how much I like it, I may be investing in a second third gen, then get this one recoated and call it my daily driver for all year weather

 

Drove my '88 iroc for four winters not a single problem

 

10 inches of snow here, no problem and on M+S tires

 

A friend of mine drove all 3 of his in the winters here in PA. 89 V6 T5 non-posi, 85 305 700r4 posi, and 82 with a swapped 350 and 4spd non-posi. He put studded tires on the back and good winter tires up front and only ever had problems on his driveway, but it was a 1/4 long dirt road with a steep hill at the end.

 

I drive my 1983 Pontiac Trans Am CFI in the winter as well

I have no money for a second car as of many of you

 

Thats my whole story right there, no money

 

just make sure you keep a can of rust killer in the trunk and wash your KARR every weekend

 

I drove mine last year in snow no problems. just had to play it really safe and drive real slow
