I haven't driven mine in snow yet this winter but have in previous winters. The key to driving one in the snow is to have the GT (or GTP) package which includes a posi rear axle. The non-GT/GTP (base models with the V6 engine) come with an open (non-posi) rear. And there wasn't a posi option to order for those V6 models. The other thing is you must have a minumum of "all- season" tires. The performance tires that came on some models won't move in the snow. So if you have a V6 model or a V6 model with performance tires you're best to leave the car in the garage when it snows. If you have a GT/GTP with performance tires, get a set of all-season tires and you should be okay.
