This I guess is what I was looking for. I'll assume snow tires are a necessity (adding about 3-4k to my cost if i get a wheel/tire package).

As long as it's driveable in snow I'm off to a good start. I have 2 other cars within my family that I can use for emergencies on those really rough winter days when the city is too cheap to plow in a timely fashion lol.

Also, just to correct what I said about my friends, only 1 friend has this specific car and he bought it this year so I don't truly know about it from my crazy friends. however 2 of them on 350z's, 1 has a 335i, another a g37s. I imagine their snow performance is comparable to what I should expect out of the 370z.

I am about 90% sold on buying a Z at this point. Just a matter of price and required/immediate winter expense.

Thank you all!
