Our 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 briefly loses its cool:
Bystanders often gave us looks of disbelief when they saw our long-term Corvette dashing through the snow, or perhaps an expression of disgust at the Red Mist livery that had transitioned to a grayish frozen slurry of road grime and a nose full of Michigan's finest uncut blue road salt. Had they caught a static glimpse of the mid-engine hot rod, they would've known the meaty Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 winter tires fitted at each corner mean business.
4 percent of the Corvette's 3665-pound curb weight over the rear axle also helps. When the road conditions deteriorate to the friction coefficient of a skating rink, selecting Weather mode via the rotary knob on the center console dials back the throttle sensitivity and the firmness of the shifts of the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission to better tiptoe the Vette through dicey scenarios. When the snow piles up, the front splitter pushes more white stuff than Escobar.
