I have no issues starting/stoping/turning. I wouldnt sugggest driving in any snow without the proper tires. my whole winter rim/tire setup cost my 1267.00 all in, so it wasnt to bad.

Did you recently just buy your Z, as in within the last few months? I see you joined in Sept. Got any pics of your car?

As for driving the 370z in the winter. It can be done but like others have said, winter tires are a must. We had unexpected snow come down, about 1-2cm last year and i still had my summer tires on. Got stuck 3 times on the base, was able to get myself out 2 times but had to get some people to push me the 3rd. Got winter tires on and the car handled amazing. Handled even better with the VDC off. That thing got me in more trouble on then it did off. Taking turns and having your *** end somewhat slide out wasnt a problem with me, i knew how to handle the that. But when u do that and the VDC comes on, that screwed me up. I ended up pulling the harness out and leaving the VDC off the whole winter and never had any issues.
