You're damn right he has!

The previous few posts have summed it up.

My take is this:

You need snow tires and VDC (I've never been stuck with snow tires, never needed to turn off VDC). There is no need for studs or chains. And RWD in itself isn't a problem.

Ride height and being a snow plow is only an issue during monster storms when the plows haven't done their job yet or if you live in a rural area that isn't plowed. I have a backup plan of borrowing my inlaws' car if a big storm is about to hit. I'd suggest you have an idea of something to do in the event you get one of these freak snow days.

Otherwise, the Z is perfectly capable of surviving the winter on snow tires. Just realize the Z is no longer a performance car in these conditions and you'll be fine.
