BRZ in the snow
 
2 Attachment(s)
This is my first winter in the BRZ, but certainly not my first winter driving. I can say that this is the most fun car that I have ever had in the winter. I have studded Hakka 9's on the car, and have not had an issue with traction. I live in British Columbia, Canada, where we have had several 20-20cm dumps already. The snow really showcases the balance of the car, and makes it feel more powerful than it is. What a hoot. If you have any doubts whether this car can handle snow, it is NOT a problem! I would definitely make sure that you have excellent car control skills before turning off all aids through, as she rotates quite quickly.

As an aside, the roof rack system installed really well following instructions. I used an air driven rivet gun to install the attachment posts. I will keep everyone posted if any problems arise. My son is a ski racer, which is why I have such a large structure on the roof of the car. So far, no bending/denting.

Enjoy the snow everyone!

Nope. I carried on into the street and went to work. So far the record is 14"s of unplowed snow on the road.

The FR-S in front of me was lowered 2". She was from Florida, though, so snow driving was new to her. Once I told her to be a bit more aggressive with the throttle to keep up her momentum, she was fine.

Aggressive yet smooth at the same time is the trick.

I have driven far worse in the snow. The worst ever was surprisingly a 70 Chev Cheyenne pickup with duel wheels. It would get stuck in an inch of snow since the tires just sat on top and spun.
