Lots of wrecked Z's...

More torque delivered to the wheels increases the chances of power oversteer. Especially with a car like a corvette or a viper that produces a lot of torque even at very low rpm.

But to anyone that knows wtf they are doing there is no difference.

never driven a mid engine car, but i drove a few front midship cars and actually i felt they were very stable under braking. And braking less is not always an option on the street. What if a guy cuts you off? Or a bus unexpectedly pulls out of the bus bay? Or a pedestrian decides to jaywalk across the street right in front of you?

Obviously I wouldn't be able to drive in deep snow, but on freshly plowed, snow-packed roads or very light accumulations I would be 100% fine.
