English, so everyone can understand

Here in Luxembourg there's a lot of snow also, snow tires are obligatory during winter, my guess is that I'll stop driving her. But I also know myself, and I will not be able to handle having my camaro stopped, new, awsome, in the garage...... I know I'll def. take her for some rides on winter, BUT here in Luxembourg not all roads are with no inclination. There are many uphill and downhill. And I was already told that the Camaro with snow tires will not go up! is that true? Camaro can only handle snow in flat surfaces?

I'll go on a limb and guess you heard Camaros don't go uphill from someone that doesn't actually drive one...It can be tricky, but it will do it. I made it up and downhills all winter: hills I didn't think I was going to make it up. These cars will impress. I suppose I have a v6 compared to the SS though..

I imagine TC would keep the wheels from spinning out too much, regardless of the engine.

Here's a trick that basically got me through snow sleet and ice:

Pretend there is an egg underneath the gas (or brake), you don't want to break the egg

If you get snow tires or good all season tires these Camaros are quite capable in the snow. I've driven all kinds of cars in the snow, and with winter tires the Camaro does better than some front wheel drive cars I've had. Of course with the RS Pirelli P Zeros it won't be going anywhere in the snow. Personally I never had any issues in the winter once I got good tires because I take it easy when the roads are bad. The only times rear wheel drive almost bit me is when I was driving hard on roads that are a little wet or have some gravel or loose dirst on them. The back end will step out on you real quick when turning.
