Corvettes for Sale - An American Original - Since 1953

People ask about Corvettes and winter driving conditions such as ice and snow and wonder how well the two mix. How well do Corvettes perform on icy roads and does the salt used on the roads really melt the finish off a Corvette (an urban legend).

Well the truth is, I don't really know. Mine never went out on the road during bad weather. (Actually it was very rarely rained on - but now I'm just showing my obsession). The Corvette is really not built to drive in icy weather. Just look around you the next time you drive during icy conditions . . . how many Vettes do you see?

Any rear wheel drive sports car stinks in the snow, Corvette, Porsche, etc. These are not all season cars, but sport cars, designed for dry pavement driving. Unless you live in Florida or southern Texas or California, a Vette should not be your sole means of transportation, instead it is a side toy.

If you're planning on buying or already own a Corvette, do yourself and your Vette a favor and spend about $1000 and get an old 4×4 for the nasty days and keep the Vette looking nice. Think of your Corvette as an investment and a show piece. Have an old clunker for just getting around.
