How does the 370z perfom in the winter weather?

I live in southern michigan. The first time it snowed the summer rubber turned into hockey pucks. There was less than a quarter inch of snow and i had to drive under 30mph just to hope that i wont go in a ditch while everyone else was driving 70-80mph. Once i put winter tires on the car is great. No trouble at all putting the car in motion even when theres 6 inches of snow.

+1 on some good winter tires. I drive mine year round in SMIB-land but we haven't seen snow in a couple of years and the light dusting we do get I take the Frontier out. The stock tires do turn into bricks in the cold weather so tires, tires, tires for winter conditions. Go easy on the skinny pedal and watch out for the 'tards and you'll be fine.
