Sucks to be that guy !

J/K that's me! DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT drive 370Z in snow. It's lights, it's got way too much power and the tires that it comes with freezes (loses traction) if temp drops below 32 F! Please use public transportation or a beater if you live in a state that gets a lot of snow.

If you really want to drive your Z in snow, I highly suggest you to do the following:

a. Get some really good snow tires.

b. TWO 50lbs sand bags in the trunk.

c. Get some snow driving tips (i.e. slow acceleration, no acceleration during turning, 2nd gear start etc)

I will never drive my Z in the snow, again. Lesson learned.
