We got a few cm of snow last month and its only a 5-10min drive to the base...I could barely get out of my driveway, got stuck at the gym and almost went off the road 3 times...the 370z with stock tires suck for winter. Cost me $1500 for winter tires to be put on stock touring rims

Hmm, this makes me worried. I live in GA, so don't expect any snow, but I do plan on a trip or two to Va in dec and jan and expect at least a little snow (blue ridge mountain area).

You guys are saying the z is very bad in the snow or just not as good as a land rover? My only choices are my z and my beetle!

Just buy a set of winter tires and install them before you go. Check your owners manual to see if the car can take snow cables on the drive wheels. A worthwhile investment. You bought that Z to enjoy it. Might as well make the most of it. When your trip is over, you can put the summer tires back on again.
