Question for Minnesota or Midwest 370z owners

I haven't driven the Z in snow, but did my 2007 G35 with snow tires. I didn't get stuck once in the 3 years of snow. It is low, so if you are smart about not trying to plow through drifts you are good.

Ya like my Civic is fairly low to the ground and it did just find this last winter. Growing up I had Manual Ford Probe GT which was super low to the ground with fat racing tires and I don't ever recall being stuck.

Was the G35 a RWD as well?

Drove my Z all during winter here in Wisconsin. Just having a good set of snow tires made a difference and was in fact better then my 2 previous vehicles (both of which where FWD).

People that say the Z can't be driven in the snow just do not know how to drive in it in the first place.

Ya, the G35 coupe was the same drive line as the 350Z.
