By no means a Ferrari, but my wife and I drove our Cayman, from Long Island to Calgary in November, on performance summer tires. The first 2-3 days were smooth sailing as we had beautiful fall weather... then somewhere in North Dakota, glorious Fall turned into cold and snowy prairie Winter. The summer tires turn to Hot Wheels grade plastic around -1, and coupled with the icy roads, made the most basic of curves a hairy proposition. Fargo to Medicine Hat (about 12-13 hours normally) took us 2.5 days to complete. We were by far slowest car on the road, and Im sure every local that passed us was laughing at the morons with the NY license plate.
Having said that, the Cayman is actually pretty decent in winter...as long as you have winter tires.
