370Z in snow.

The AWD cars are easier cars to drive, but RWD cars are fine given the right tire and driver. How do you think your parents made it through the 60s and 70s in the piece of crap RWD cars? Don't expect to drive the car with performance tires, you have to spend at least $1K to get something worth while.

I hate to say this. If you lose control in a RWD car due to driver's error, chances are that you could crash driving everything else. I really did like driving my AWD car in the snow, but I found myself driving like a total a-hole with the added traction. My favorite winter car was my Miata turbo with 175 Blizzaks. I used to drive 50 miles a day to and from work. Of course those tires only lasted one winter given how often I spun it.....
