Just kidding. ~445 whp, so ~495 bhp assuming 10% drivetrain loss.

I've had a blast in it, but the limitations of FWD become so horrific once you surpass ~220 whp in this car. Definitely a fun car, but now that I actually have some real income coming at me, I want a nicer car that I can actually build up to handle 500 hp and not just spin tires the entire time
I can imagine! Holy torque steer batman.

Anyways, like everyone is saying, the Z is fine in the snow with good snow tires. You are only limited by clearance... so don't expect to drive far in more than 4-5" of fresh snow.

But anything less than that, especially plowed/packed snow, will be no problem for a RWD car with snow tires.
