I hate to say this. If you lose control in a RWD car due to driver's error, chances are that you could crash driving everything else. I really did like driving my AWD car in the snow, but I found myself driving like a total a-hole with the added traction. My favorite winter car was my Miata turbo with 175 Blizzaks. I used to drive 50 miles a day to and from work. Of course those tires only lasted one winter given how often I spun it.....

Yeah I hear ya about the parents thing. Spoke to a coworker yesterday who drove a newer Charger R/T in the snow the last two winters and said he was amazed at how much traction he got from the snow tires. I'm a pretty good driver speaking of which I have to go test drive the Z. I've hit up the Evo and Sti already. Sti was vague Evo was mint but very cheap. The Z to me looks like an exotic car for a not so exotic price. Thanks again.
