J/K that's me! DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT drive 370Z in snow. It's lights, it's got way too much power and the tires that it comes with freezes (loses traction) if temp drops below 32 F! Please use public transportation or a beater if you live in a state that gets a lot of snow.

If you really want to drive your Z in snow, I highly suggest you to do the following:

a. Get some really good snow tires.

b. TWO 50lbs sand bags in the trunk.

c. Get some snow driving tips (i.e. slow acceleration, no acceleration during turning, 2nd gear start etc)

I will never drive my Z in the snow, again. Lesson learned.

Hehe, I will be driving my Z in the snow. I drove both my Mustangs in the snow so I have quite a bit of experience with powerful RWD cars and snow. It's not too bad, you just have to be very careful, and hopefully have some pretty decent all seasons at least. I've never driven with snow tires... just good all seasons.

A little light snow isn't that bad. Obviously deep snow is going to be tough and make it more likely for you to get stuck... but if there are only a couple inches on the road and you absolutely have to get somewhere, you should be able to make it!
