i drove my GT in the snow for 2 years, no money for a winter beater. it really does suck, and i aquired a few scratches and such. i finally bought a 4 cyl mustang last year for 700 bucks. so thats now my winter beater. and since all i have ever driven is rear wheel drive cars i know how to handle them in the winter.
i would suggest not using sand bags in the back. yes i may give u more traction at a start, but the more weight will make it harder to control in a slide. they actually said on one of those hotrod shows not to put weight in the back of your car for winter driving. get good snow tires, and don't muscle it!
