When theres ice on the road, even an awd car is going to slide. It doesnt matter what you drive.
I took a look at your Camaro pics and noticed that you have AT. This will make your car heavier, at least by 300 lbs (conservative guess), if you compare to a 6 spd M/T Z.
Even with a standard tranny, the Camaro is wider and heavier than the Z...Now that GM is no longer making the Camaro and Firebird/Trans-Am, you gonna come to the dark side, huh?? LOL
Good luck with your future Z purchase....

haha yea that sucks. Thats cool you go to roundtop man, I live about 15 minutes from there, I usually go about three times a week. I'm still trying to figure out how you got any kind of boards/skis in the Z? This will be my first winter with my Z...I'm thinking I'll be driving my GMC Jimmy a lot.

190 cm skis will fit in the 350Z. I had been to Ski Roundtop before with snow on the ground. The Z was OK even if I had to go up the hill to get to the big parking lot. The parking lot was covered in snow and ice, and the Z was fine. That's why the incident above scarred the poop out of me.
