Great input from almost everyone. Thanks!!!!!!!!!
I am glad this didn't turn into a STI VS Z my car is better than yours battle. Over the past week I have been paying really close attention to the cars I see driving on the street and who is driving what car & the attention they attract. The STI and EVO seem to be driven by mostly a much younger crowd. Also everytime I see one I just can't stand that wing, I am sorry, I am sure some people love it but I think it makes the car look like a shopping cart. I have two 1970 dodge challengers and am a huge mopar fan and think the superbird / daytona are two of the nicest muscle cars built. And those wings are also huge, but just seem to belong with those cars. I am going to stick with my Z for now & try some snow tires.

Anyone have any luck with studs?

Like mentioned above, by someone else, with the current stock tires the Z gets stuck in an inch of snow on the slightest incline.
