Yup, when I was in college in upstate NY I used to drive a clapped-out 356B Porsche coupe. I always knew I was in trouble when the guy in the backseat passed me.

On one memorable occasion I did two 360's in the middle of the Tappan Zee Bridge crossing the Hudson River. Didn't hit anything and continued on in the direction I was going. All was fine except for the new stains in my underwear...

But Porsche's have a real advantage for traction with the engine over the drive wheels. They go better and brake better in snow than we do.
