Snow is the last thing you want to drive one of these in. (I've tried)
I have the F1 Supercar tires on it and snow is one thing these will not bite in.
Rain, no problem. Snow, forget it!
Driving from Crystal Lake to Vernon Hills daily I am getting 16.5 mpg.

i took mine out for 200 miles in the ice storm we had 2 weeks ago... it was a BLAST!!! no, really. lots of time steering into slides, often at 40mph in I90... i honestly highly recommend it as long as you can keep your cool and know how to handle the skids. i should also mention that i had ESP completely disabled. the short time i left it active, i had no skidding issues. that was with the stock 20" RSA's.

Hi,

Drove it in the rain with no problems. Stops great. The only issue once in a while is if you get on the gas a bit to much it tries to spin out but the traction control kicks in to stop it.

Over all no concerns on bad weather.

Gas milege has been about 14 city 17 highway. Don't remember what it's supposed to get but I tend to have a heavy foot...

Snow??? My baby is not coming out of the garae when snow is out... Nothing like a lot of salt to gum up the works

I waited till late one night just to try it in the snow once. I was very impressed. Stock RSA's, take off in 2nd gear without esp, once I got moving turned the esp on and it was remarkably agile. That will be the only time though, hahahaha

As far as gas mileage? I average 14 or so daily driving. I can average 21 on a trip though.

On RSA's it'll suck in the rain from a stop, but works amazingly well in the snow! I drove my Mag SRT8 all last winter sometimes in a foot of the white stuff and never once had an issue.

Just know that from a stop if it won't go its because ESP senses slippage and shuts the throttle off/applies brakes. From a stop turn ESP off and autostick to 2nd gear. After you get going turn ESP back on.
