You probably don't want to know.

I have snow tires, and it can't be worse than my second gen with drag radials.

No issues in cold rain.

It only spells disaster if you are from the south and never driven in snow.
I have gotten around just fine with the p-zeros. Just have to know how to drive on ice and snow. Helps when you've driven in your whole life. This Camaro gets around a whole lot better than the previous generations of Camaros. TC and Stabilitrac works great.

I'm curious as well. I have pirelli scorpions on my car and waiting for the snow to hit.

They worked really good in the rain the other night, and don't feel that much different than the P-zero tires.

I really don't think it matters if you have the best snow tires around to be honest. RWD car with over 400hp and enough tq to send you spinning. I DONT THINK SO.

only difficulty i see in the snow is with people who are use to putting their foot through their engine compartment in spring, summer, and fall. its got stabilitrak and traction control, couple that with some good all seasons or winter tires and you should be fine.
