as for G vs Z, even between my G35C and 370Z is a NIGHT/DAY difference so i can say while they are related, they are nothing alike about them. especially if you have a sedan it will probably not even feel like it's from the same brand.

General consensus from what I have read is proper tires + VDC on (unless stuck) + intelligent driving = good enough to drive in the snow.

not here to start a snow tire tread, but i can say from experience buffalo can get quite a bit of snow.

I've lived in Buffalo (technically, just outside) my whole life. Oddly enough, we have had 0 inches of accumulation this year. Yes, you are right though, we can get a ton of snow. I can't comment on traction for a RWD sports car, but I do know that occassionally we get enough accumulation on the roads that could be problematic for low clearance cars. On the plus side, you could snowplow my driveway with it

Have a 2011 G37x sedan and the Z is night and day over it. Trasmission does not feel
the same at all. Both are 7AT and the Z is more responsive as the G seems confused at times searching for gears. Road noise is there obviously, it's a sports car. Even though similar engine, transmission, and about 90% of parts are shared with Infiniti it does not feel like these cars were built by the same sister manufacturers. Z is sports car loud, rough and quick while the G is luxury, quiet, and comfortable.
