On one memorable occasion I did two 360's in the middle of the Tappan Zee Bridge crossing the Hudson River. Didn't hit anything and continued on in the direction I was going. All was fine except for the new stains in my underwear...

But Porsche's have a real advantage for traction with the engine over the drive wheels. They go better and brake better in snow than we do.

Thanks for the reviews all. I'm in Toronto so we see more than our fair share of snow and I was wondering how the 370z handled in snow (and in rain). I think I'll store it for her first winter

. Right now I am twiddling my thumbs while my car is trained across the country hopefully arriving end of this week or sometime next, can't wait!
