If I had a vette, (even as second car) id also have a third car.. its that easy
____, my grand marquis is my snow vehicle, but THINK about it.. what do most cops drive in the snow? crown vic's.. my car is identical to them, but acctually better (way more luxury) and with the trac control, it does not slip AT ALL.. period. its wicked cool, even if it is a old mans vehicle. v8, RWD and all. but its a TANK, very heavy. Also skill and reaction has a lot to do with snow driving as well..

What DOES make a difference is the width of the tire. Narrower tires have more weight on them per square inch, which can give you better traction.
