Is this beast daily worthy

[Pete Grimaldi]

I had a a beater 2001 V6 Mustang as my alternate transportation for the GT500 here in New England. It got rear ended so I bought a used 2012 Explorer XLT last winter. I have had eight Mustangs and used most of them as daily drivers but the GT500 is not compatible with winter driving. I have put 11,000+ miles on it since April 2013, but driving it in winter is not the best choice. Plus I can take stuff to the dump with the Explorer!

I am on the fence on buying one solely because I dont think it would handle snow very well. Live in Maryland. Any owners daily drive this monster?

No way !

Buy a winter beater or plan on wrecking the GT500.

I have a supercharged GT, and I cannot imagine DDing this thing, even in Texas. They just aren't comfortable enough. If you are in the price range of the GT500, I agree, look at the SRT8 Challengers or a HC. They are WAY more comfortable as a DD.

That said, I still recommend that you have a winter beater. WHen I lived in Pa, the only RWD car that I owned that wasn't completely crap in the snow was a Nissan with snow tires. 150hp is a lot different than 665hp in the snow.

Thanks everyone for the feedback!

I almost forgot about this post. Thanks everyone for the feedback I got a couple laughs in. Yea so the consensus is a big NO, which I expected.
