c4 c5 in sweden ... realistic for all season driver?

[TCFS]

hi,
living in Sweden, 46yo, never had any corvette.
I dreamt about a 59 c1 ... since 25years ... but will probably never put that money in a car.
nevertheless, C4 1994-96 and early c5 cab could be in my range... and very desirable to become week-end cruiser....a more reasonable dream.
...but can we make a C4 1994-6 or a early C5 cab the only car for all season driving in sweden?....I'll post this in the respective section.
that's the reason why I connect to the corvette fora (several), it is to learn more about those 2 generations, pros & cons, tips and tricks ...to make an educated choice if moving forward in making my corvette ownership dream true or keeping it as a dream...
cheers,
TCFS (aka Francois)

Welcome aboard! Personally, I would not use a Corvette as a year round driver unless the temperatures stayed up above 30* F. I wouldn't purposely drive one in the snow (I'm assuming you have snow there). These cars are so low slung it wouldn't take much to be too much for the Corvette. And even though they have many of the "nannies" (computer controlled traction system) these cars can get squirrelly in a hurry.

I know where Sweden is Located and your driving conditions in winter The C5 with all season tires and traction control will go in light dry snow up to about 4 inches .Wet snow you'll go nowhere fast.

Note : I was born in New Sweden Maine and the land trees and soil are the same as the mother country but our moose are bigger.
