I was going to use my '84 for a snow vehicle but it started being less and less dependable (accumilation of larger and larger problems) and i really don't feel like going through the trouble of buying a beater that will potentially leave me stranded 40 miles from anything up in a freezing mountain pass. I actually went yesterday as well, and it was dumping snow and the GT handled it fairly well (although there were a few "discomforting" moments). Before the next time i go up i'll buy chains and something to weight down the rear. I found that as long as i let off the gas when the GT starts to want to walk around i don't end up facing the other way. The funny thing is so far i've driven past horrible drivers in 4 wheel drive vehicles that expect too much from their vehicles and end up in snow drifts on the side of the road, and i'm driving a RWD V8 car that's gutted with 3.55 gears and traction-lok rear..... I can't image how dumb someone has to be to be able to full on spin a 4wd vehicle off a fairly tame snowy road.....maybe after a few more spins those people will learn not to be so dumb....then again maybe not
