Can't speak for Spearfish but I had no issues with snow here in Boston. I have a Touring/Sport Package 6MT with Blizzak LM-60s and the only thing you have to watch out for is clearance like Spearfish said, although I'm guessing that would be an issue in the Evo/STi as well. Really, the Z handled much better than 90% of the cars out there: snow tires on RWD beat all-seasons on FWD any day.

I picked up a set of smaller wheels as well (18", 225) with the snow tires and I would suggest you do this as well for a better bite. The standard 19" 275 Sports Package setup might be pushing it in the snow.

Definitely get a ClearBra or a regular one to protect the bumper from all the sand and salt, and wash at least once a week with an undercarriage blast.
