Sawa Corvette, a 350Z and a few other non winter cars.

If you know how to control throttle and shift smoothly you can drive anything.

Just need snow tires. First time I have had them and it makes an amazing difference. I often find myself passing people while it's snowing, them sliding all over, me not so much.

Tollways are usually cleared pretty quickly, hasn't been an issue yet. Crosses fingers.

I'm on bald high performance summer tires. I have 400+wtq at the wheels.....and its the front wheels.

I can control the throttle enough to slip a little of the line then pull away smoothly.

I need winter tires too, but no place has my size, or they are stupid expensive.

I have a coworker with a mustang and this last storm he tried to get into work, got half a mile and then found a hill (small hill) ans slid back down the whole thing. Went in and bought winter tires that instant, he can get to work now, but he says its still pretty tricky.

I had bald performance summer tires at the very first snowfall. Went to get them changed and I found out they were still the original factory tires. Guess that can happen when you get a low mileage used car, I just wasn't expecting that.

My mustang was identical to that! and I commuted through 3 New England winters. It was a blast.
