Maybe the title needs to say "Let's see a pic of your 911 Winter Warrior"

There could be a 911 under that pile of snow:



No, not really, just a Volvo (on all season tires, crazy!) and a tweaked up Audi with extreme winter tires. The Volvo stayed the night there, couldn't get out. Audi, no problem.

Seriously, who decided this is a 911-only thread? I'm interested in what other people are driving in the winter. 911 is just not an option here.

disagree. all you need is a set of winter wheels and the rwd works well in snow (used to drive a cayman s year round). also is much more fun to drive a base carrera in snow (my wife has one and uses it year round). just need to practice some control. my 4s also works great in snow. however, the streets do need to be plowed. but then again, high snow is tough for most cars.

Hehehe, I'd be plowing the street with that GT3 front bumper, 4'' off the ground. Might as well send a bill to the city for the services rendered. I'm not even going to mention the salt and other crap they throw down to give cars some traction. I can't do that to the 911.

ah. ok. but to lump a gt3 in with the general species of 911 is, well, absurd. i wouldn't do that to a gt3 either.

I can google search for random cars in the winter.. https://www.google.com/search?q=wint...active&ssui=on

We want to see 911s setup for winter.

Drove around a bit in a few inches of snow today, did really well, even on the hills. Carrera GTS with Sottozero winter tires. First time I've had it in the snow.
