Driving your z in the snow

That's a good point, it's never been an issue for me before though in other cars... aside from the one where I tore the "useless" thing off and to discover it really did have a purpose

Obviously the depth of snow you can drive through will be limited by the clearance under the car.
If it's a big concern get your self a Power Wagon

Wish I still had mine

I never had anything better in the snow then that

But have you driven a car that has as little clearance as the Z ? And it is there for a reason......it gives you better MPG at highway speeds.......

The OEM tires are completely useless when there's a decent amount of accumulation. I had to park mine for a week last year until I bought some 18" snow tires. Once I mounted the snow tires, the car was a ball to drive.
