For example, I had my 944 in Canada in the winter, and everyone up there was surprised that I was to be driving such a car in the snow. Truth is, it was great in the snow, with my "Conti" all season tires on it. (it has almost perfect 50/50 weight distribution, just like the Z)

I was out in a blizzard with it, and happened upon a friend. He said "You must have balls the size of church bells driving in this weather, Hey?" I thought that was pretty funny.

Anyhow, just curious about the Z
Rich, I had a 350Z and drove it in the snow once, ONCE. It was Christmas Eve a few years back and it started snowing while I ran to the mall for last minute gifts. Well an hour and a half later there's a little over 2 inches of snow on the ground and I couldn't get out of the parking lot which had very little pitch to it. Wound up getting a ride home from a tow truck driver with presents on my lap, and the Z on the flatbed. Long story short, I'm sticking with the old Expedition 4x4 when the weather turns white.
