I don't agree, at least completely, with the idea of the 370Z as a three-season car. I had a car with similar tires, RWD, front air dam, good power-to-weight ratio, summer (Goodyear NCT) tires, and drove it through several bad northern Ohio winters, one with snow over a foot many times. Once drove it home from Georgia to Ohio in the middle of the worst blizzard the mountains had suffered in years. For more than an hour, I was the only person on the road aside from a semi-trailer. The off-ramps were heavily snowed in and the traffic non-existent, so I just stopped and peed in the middle of the highway. Nobody around to see. I suspect the Z would have gotten me home, too. Just as Ayrton Senna drove in the rain, one can drive in the snow, too. You just have to adapt and be very smooth.
