As far as winter driving is concerned... the car is worthless in the snow. Whether there's a light dusting or a full on blizzard it doesn't matter. Without proper snow tires (check out AK370Z's winter wheel/tire setup) you don't want this car to see snow at all.

Even in cold weather it can be a bit dangerous. The stock Bridgestone RE050As (Sport package) lose a lot of grip below 50*F and can be dangerous if you aren't mindful of the absolute lack of grip.

That said, with a proper winter tire setup you will be perfectly fine with this car in a few inches of snow... you'll just have to worry about all of the NOVA SUV drivers who have no clue WTF is going on!

Welcome to the forums... hope to see you out at Starbucks soon!
it's an SRT4 dammit!

thanks for the info dude... the winter driving thing is really the only thing holding me back from picking one of these cars up right now... my mustang 5.0 was no fun at all driving in the snow, not looking forward to ever going through that again... too bad the G37's are not nearly as appealing as the Z's.
