The biggest problem with our G30's is weight. It's your worst enemy in snow despite common thinking. Inertia is a bitch to overcome when you're trying to change direction (or velocity) in the slippery stuff.

The only rear wheel drive cars I've ever had where camaros and mustangs. Those were sleds. I would just say this on par with a fwd vehicle. I still need to drive around when it snows more.
