Tips for getting caught in the snow with your Z

On the contrary I was surprised at just how well the VDC worked today in the snow. I found out the hard way you can't turn it off while it's active so I just powered through, I forgot about it until the tires started slipping but I figured if I have to stop anyway to turn it off I might as well see how far I get first. It never made me stop and I wouldn't have been moving any faster if it was off, the tires would have been spinning faster but I wouldn't have made any more progress.
If you plowing snow though, which is obviously very easy to do in this car, you will get stuck either way. You might make it a little further with no traction control but that fact is it's a sports car not a truck.
Tires will make all the difference in the world though and they are really the determining factor.
