Just don't do it. You can drive a RWD car in the snow. It's not physically impossible. But you're gonna be dancing with the devil A LOT and it's just not worth the hassle. Especially for a RWD sports car. There's just too much power going to those rear wheels.

You might think "oh, I'm a good driver... I'll go slow", but then you'll drive for a little while and get cocky/go too fast and then BOOM... hello snowbank (if you're lucky)!

The Z is simply a car made for fair climates. It makes no pretense of being an all-weather car. So don't treat it like one or expect it to be one.

Just my 5 cents.
