Oh, I saw the term "Obnoxiously" in your previous reply, I figure it must be something dramatic. Thanks for the info.

Yeah my A4 quattro is great in thick snow, but I couldn't burn the tires like you guys did with your Z370.

I just purchased a new roadster, 6m, sport pac and intend to drive it year round.....I'm in Winnipeg. I just came from a boxster that I drove year round and had no problem. Thw 370 has pretty much the same weight distribution as the boxster so with the addition of top notch winter tires for my use (I don't drive to work) it should work out fine. If the weather doesn't cooperate then I don't have to drive it that day(s). A friend has a speed shop and says he can get wheels that'll fit the large brakes and I'll put on michelin snow tires.

Boxster is mid engine probably with somewhere close to a 50/50 balance, the Z is 54/46....

It is obnoxious in that it doesn't allow any wheelspin at all, where as the systems from other manufacturers let you get a little slip happening without interfering.
