I drove my 09 G8 GT to work one day. By the end of the work day, an unexpected heavy snow storm was amidst. I was concerned how the rear wheel drive car would handle in the weather. Using the manual option on the shifter, I drove home. I downed shifted to help slow down without sliding, and kept it in a lower gear than usual while driving. To my amazement, the car drove effortlessly. The car is much better balanced than the hatchback Trans Am I used to own. That thing used to slide sideways if I just slightly turned the wheel on a slippery surface.
