Message Yes, driving in the snow can be quite an adventure in a Z32. I drove mine for a winter once and will NEVER do it again.

as a side note, I had an 84 non turbo for a couple years that I drove in the snow a lot (of course it rusted to hell after just a couple winters). I can honestly say that I've never had more FUN driving a car in the snow than that 84 Z. I used to kick out the rear end at 40+ mph around curves (on purpose) and maintain complete control of the car. It would practically countersteer for you. You could actually let go of the steering wheel going sideways, halfway around a curve and the car would straighten itself right out again. ahhh, those were the days.....

:that's ok, we were all once rookies and I had my Fiero as my "learner" car. Though it wasn't 400HP, it sure sucked on those POS no name tires and wacked alignment.
:Have you driven a 400HP car in the rain before? have you driven a stage 3++/4 Z in the rain before? I've driven mine in the snow; sure it sucked but it's all about control and not panicing... rookie. :-P
