I like how some people on here assume because I think AWD is good, which I never even mentioned in the quote, I somehow think RWD can't be done.
So you honestly think a 3200lb 2 seater that is RWD is a good winter car? I was just saying its a bad winter vehicle because it is. Even with snow tires it will suck. Traction control isn't gods gift to man.
When Knoxville had to drive his g8 in the snow we couldn't get up hills, slid everywhere and traction control just cut power...his car was a 4000 lb sled that was worthless in 2in of snow. The corvette would be exponentially worse.
Could you drive it, sure, would I, no. I am simply saying its impractical in MN.

I had to DD my talon for two weeks when my commuter went down this spring. By the end of the two weeks, I was really board of the car (satisfied by need for speed in the first few days) and could only focus on the drivability issues.
If a car is build for performance, and only use that performance for a limited mount of the time you are in it, the whole situation seems sub-optimal.
