Some iPhone pics of my G37 during this blizzard we had here in NYC








And heres some pics of the wifes 5.7L Hemi Jeep...taken with my professional DSLR this time..




and....my dog

 

Funny I have the same exact setup. WK hemi for the wife and of course I have the G37xs. Perfect setup for a good snowstorm!

 

Yup yup!

 

Drifting action

 

I'm also in NY, although Upstate didn't get hit as bad as NYC and LI. Either way, we got over 12" in less than a single day of snowfall, and it was a mess. As for driving the G37... it was the one day of the year where my RWD 6MT was totally useless, regardless of snow tires. OK, maybe two days, back-2-back.

Fortunately, the other 363 days of the year continue to validate my choice in a way an AWD, automatic G never could.



Sure was pretty, though. I took this video just driving around my neighborhood yesterday:

 

I ALMOST wanna say that you're...extremely lucky to have all that snow! lol

 

I was really surprised at how the car was in the snow...i put my winter rims on there which have bridgestone Blizzaks on them so i was sure i wouldn't get stuck...and man this car is insane in the snow lol...it goes straight and does not get stuck. I was berried in about 2.5 ft of snow and was able to drive straight out. Drifting was fun and seemed controlled.

I think the AWD is definitely worth having especially if you live in snow prone states.

 

Looks dope, unfortunately i was alone when i went so i had no one to take pics

 

daonlyillwiz: Whats the spec of your wheel/tire setup? Those are 18's I'm guessing, whats the tire demensions?

Reason I'm asking is I've got an X-non sport too, and don't plan on dropping it. Your setup looks nice.

 

Thanks man, these wheels are actually my winter setup specs below:
rims(F/R): 18x9
tires: 225-45-18
offset: +35

no spacers

 

^^How much is the speedometer error at say 60 mph? You're running a slightly smaller wheel diameter than stock. Planning on running wider tires on those wheels (9")?

 

Looks like your having some fun in the snow.

 

With those sizes he's running.

When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 58.1mph (93.5km/h): 3.2% slower.

according to the trusty wheel calculator.

 

Yep, answered that question correctly...

that being said, that is why these are ONLY my winter wheels for months december-feb

 

We received 34cm of snow the same day. Once I was able to get of the court we live on, (they always clear the snow on courts near last ) I had no problems driving around at all that day. Lots of people people were ditching their vehicles though.
