Few things are as treacherous as driving in the snow and ice. In addition to accounting for other drivers, you’re also forced to negotiate packed snow, fluffy snow, ice, and the occasional unintentional drift or slide. Now imagine you’re driving a V-8, low-clearance vehicle, and the situation gets even dicier. For you and everyone else on the road. Digital creator and performance car expert Paragon Korey recently posted a Facebook Reel featuring this exact scenario. As the in-video text explains, it features a “736 AWDHP Corvette driving on ice on Michelin pilot sport 4S tires.” As of this writing, the post has garnered over 422,000 hits. Can You Drive A Corvette In The Snow? As the camera pans over the blue Chevrolet Corvette, an off-camera voice can be heard exclaiming: “Who in the [expletive] would do that?” Another person chimes in, saying in a deadpan tone, “Actually, I love that.” The kicker in this absurd situation? The Corvette has a cargo carrier on the roof. It’s a bit like seeing a fighter jet with a backpack, but perhaps the weight acts like ballast. Of course, the internet has lots to say about the unusual configuration—and the tires too. Tell us what you think! View Comments “Where did he get that roof rack,” Johnny Efthimiopoulos demanded. “I had no idea you can get one for the VET.” While other users refused to be distracted by the promise of more luggage space, instead staying focused on the all wheel drive (AWD) and tire situation: “Driving on Michelin Pilot Sport EV in snow almost feels like having winter tires on—but braking is a different story,” said Richard Ember. Eric Helms didn’t see a problem: “Believe it or not, they really are just cars. Even 2WD C7 easily handles ice on weather mode. Driven on it myself,” he said. While Pennsylvania resident Janice Madura Lander claimed, “There’s a guy in Erie, drives one all winter!” Does The Corvette Actually Come With AWD? The one question that seems to linger is the AWD issue. The answer is that, yes, the 2026 Corvette E-Ray does have AWD. Per Chevrolet, this model is the “first-of-its-kind Corvette with electrified all-wheel drive technology. Its electric front axle works in tandem with the LT2 6.2L V8 engine.” Chevrolet added this feature so the car can be driven in all kinds of weather. That’s good news for new owners. But it does probably mean that the guy in Pennsylvania who’s been tooling around town in one “all winter” is likely driving with a little less control. The verdict on the vehicle itself? Korey, who is the operation manager at Paragon Performance, and also owns the featured E-Ray, says the vehicle sustained some damage. “I was expecting worse,” he says. “It’s just my underglow and I know exactly when it happened.” “I hit a pretty big chunk of ice, and thought I’d destroyed my front lip,” he says. But after assessing the vehicle, he saw it was an easy fix. As a bonus, he already had the replacement part on hand. So while the video was staged, it does help get the word out: the Corvette E-Ray can handle winter driving—though all drivers should use caution when driving in such conditions. As for how Korey, who got a pre-production vehicle, feels about the vehicle long-term, “I have had my E-Ray since December of 2024. And it’s getting to the point where I’m [ready] to get something else. It’s not because I don’t like the car—I really enjoy the car—but I don’t care to keep a car long term.” So what’s his next vehicle? Probably another Corvette, preferably the next model that Chevrolet equips with AWD. He says he’d be happy to drive a Grand Sport. Then drops a rumor that he’s hoping is true: An E-Ray with a bigger engine. He’d absolutely buy that.
