If driven properly on snowy roads, with correct tires for conditions, it won't make any difference whether you have a V6 or a V8. You have to go easy on the gas and brakes - and the traction control will help a lot. Any car -even a 4 banger with 10 hp - will spin out on you if you hammer the gas. And if there is snow on the roads and your Camaro (any Camaro) has the Pirelli P-Zero summer tires... call a cab. If yours is a DD you should at least get all-season tires and drive sensibly. Then you should have no problem with a few inches of snow.
