Your priorities are not right.

Its just plain out stupid to not be able to afford downtime etc...when doing something like that. Its just plain stupid to expect to drive a fat tired RWD sports car as your only car in a region that will get consistent snow.

I suggest looking for a 09/10 used model and taking the 10K saved and finding a solid Subaru for your other car. Go non-turbo.

Insure that as your primary vehicle (it won't be too bad compared to a WRX or evo). Z is secondary car. If you mod Z, it breaks, you still have car to get to work etc...

At 22 you should be dreaming about the toys and buying/using something more practical while you establish yourself and grow into success. You can't have it all right away: that will typically lead to bad decision making.
