horrible snow day bad experience !!!

10 sacks of 60lb Quickrete concrete in the boot and passenger flooring, over inflate tires by 5-7 psi(unless using snow tires); fixed.

Technique, if manual - start in second around 5K rpm releasing accelerator immediately when you can idle, then shift to 3rd to go faster than 2nd idle-speed.
Automatic - Try not to come out of 2nd, if you need to go faster, set your shift light to ~3,500 rpm.

This is just my suggestion if you have to drive the Z. Feel free to do as you feel safe. To me, snow and ice is 'basic'. Tornadoes at night are the challenge.

(learned to drive in a '54 Chevy deuce and a half flatbed 4-speed with no 3rd gear/learned to drive in snow in a '67 Pontiac GTO manual)

Glad to hear you didn't ruin your car, yourself, or anyone else or their car.

i don't know if i'm reading that right but are you suggesting throwing 600lb worth of sacks in the trunk? that's a **** ton of weight for the z's trunk.

You're reading that properly. I grew up in southern Illinois and spent 2005-2009 in Cleveland driving rwd cars and trucks. I was at work on days where 4x4 owners weren't and I have never had issues. With the wider tires, a slight over inflation will decrease the rear footprint and cause the center of the tire to dig more. The weight helps keep the *** planted, although it can make it a little more sketchy when trying to stop on a downward slope.
