Default Re: Is An SRT6 a Practical Daily Driver (In Snow If Needed)?

I DO drive it in the snow, I did in the winter of '08/'09 in Chicago (base coupe) and also in the winter of '09/'10 (last winter) in my SRT-6. I equipped it with blizzaks and also put 100lbs of sand in the hatch for a bit more weight in the rear.

It made it just fine, with only one issue being trying to go up a 15degree incline in the middle of a heavy snowstorm. Other than that, if you know how to handle the car and know how to feather the gas properly then it won't be an overwhelming issue. Though I did try to avoid any long trips during the winter so it kept me close to home on the worse days.

P.S. I live in Northern, NJ and my SRT is decently modified (~375whp). So while I do have an opinion, I would probably say it would be easier in a stock SRT6. Go for it, but I do think having a $500 beater isn't a terrible idea since (for me) since I was basically going back and forth to work and that's pretty much all she got driven on crappy days.
