Great point. Winter driving is all about controlling what you do and minimizing exposure to crazies who think they're invincible when the cold, white stuff falls from the sky as M4A1 mentioned. Driving a Z in the winter just means you have to give yourself a greater margin of safety as it's not going to be quite as good stopping and going as, say, a WRX. Of course, when the snow turns to ice, it doesn't matter if you have 10-wheel drive, if you drive outside what's safe for conditions, you're slidin'. Bottom line, if you are comfortable with the wear and tear produced on the car's exterior in those conditions, and understand that you need to account for you and your surroundings at all times, then why not?

S.

DISCLAIMER: This opinion given from someone not "north of the border" and who probably/obviously doesn't know as much about winter driving as our august Canadian friends, but a lifetime spent driving in ID and CO makes me feel fairly confident that I may have come across inclement conditions a time or three.
