Hey Hurricane, hey Kid,
Interested to hear how the 911 handles in Winter weather and what depth snow it will handle? Do you have a C2S or C4S? The reason I ask is my wife is planning her next car and since I got my GTS she is feeling very left out.
We have plenty of time to hunt - will pull the trigger later in 2017, but I will be keeping a close watch on pricing here.

Two 911s in the garage?!
This will be my first winter with the C2S. It is just a "fun" car, so not sure I will even take it out in the snow, but definitely taking it out on nice winter days. Most indicate that clearance is the issue with snow, not traction, if a C2S is wearing winter tires.
I am coming out of a '15 S4 + Blizzak WS80s, so the snow-handling bar was set pretty high

I have a C2S w/Powerkit, sport PASM w PDCC, and PCCB. With winter tires, it handles snow just fine, particularly with much of the weight over the driving wheels.
I spent five years in North Dakota (thanks, USAF!) and had a high performance RWD car there for several winters with snow tires. I was confident to handle anything up to 4" of snow - worried only about bottoming out. Truthfully, I probably drove in heavier snow that that with no problem. I NEVER got stuck. I don't really drive my C2S when it is that bad (plus they do a pretty good job of clearing the roads here) but I would still be confident up to around 4", I think. I have an FX35 if the weather is really nasty. If all else fails, my wife's vehicle is a Yukon XL Denali AWD which is a beast in the snow.
The main reason I put winter tires on is because the stock Pirelli P-Zeros suck at 40 degrees or lower (poor traction) and if there is a light or moderate snowfall while I am out, I don't want to be stuck in an unsafe situation.
One time it snowed while I was at work with my Corvette. It was at least an inch or two by the time I got home. With summer run flat tires, it was a very hairy experience trying to nurse it home in light snow.
Also, I put very few miles on my Vette over the years and I am determined not to save my 911 for the next guy. I take great care of it but I am not going to let it sit in the garage when I could be driving it and enjoying it!
A few shots of my previous 2012.5 C2S in the snow: (I currently have a 2013 C2S - snow tires are on but we haven't had any snow yet this winter!)
Sorry for the thread hijack - now back to your regularly scheduled HFS programming!
