A 370Z in the snow

With dedicated snows/rims it will handle fine especially if you have a limited slip differential or viscous diff. whatever Nissan calls it. Chains may not clear brakes, etc. I've used Michelin Xice snow tires for the past four winters in Iowa. No problem until the snow gets 5 inches deep then you best park it unless you like to plow snow.

No, especially on a sports car, an LSD will not improve handling in the snow, take off traction possibly, but with an LSD you're immediately going to find the fall line on a slick surface if it locks up.
