What makes this car so bad in a little snow? Obviously driving around all winter in Maine, with feet of snow piling up around you and gallons of salt destroying your undercarriage, it's not the ideal situation, but a tiny bit of snow can't be as bad a little rain, can it?

Snow is much worse than the rain! With the slick like tires on your Nismo it would be like trying to run with shoes on the ice rink; starting slow and increasing your speed slowly will be ok. Once you get going you won't have much control nor will you be able to stop suddenly. Rear wheel drive combined with a light rear end make for a nightmare on even an inch of snow. I myself would never take my Z on the snow.
