Good as long as you have a good set of snow tires. I drove mine in the snow the first winter that I had it, put Blizzaks on and got around with no problems and that was with 27 inches on the ground witch is a record for us at one time.

Thanks for the response 22psi and holding. Thats good news i was just a little worried about spinning out every where in the winter. So a good set of snow tires will do! I bet in the fall the car is amazing with the cooler air!

I have all seasons on my steelies for winter, and if the snow is too deep I start off in second gear. Having a boost controller helps too, you're able to turn down the boost, making less power so you don't spin nearly as much if at all.

If you choose not to get new rims/with snow tires. . . . like I chose not to last year for the lovely Colorado weather, SRT4 and winter are not a combo, if I was still in Colorado I would for sure invest the money, but no snow for me in Cali!!!
