if you put snows on it and some weight in the pit you should be ok… Mine was a nightmare the one time I got caught with it in the snow, not fun driving home on slick 275 DRs. ---

I drove my 3.8 firebird in the snow for 4 winters, starting when i was 16. Never lost control unintentionally or hit anything. Snow tires + sandbags in the back FTW. ---

i had an '84 trans am with a 350, 5spd, 3.73s meh, even some decent all seasons, some weight in the back helps. it all pretty much comes down to not driving like a retard. i Loved driving mine in the winter, very predictable, lots of fun 🙂 get snows & sandbags if it freaks you out. ---

Just pay attention, and look ahead when you go to turn in anywhere. If you pick and choose your battles accordingly it’s shouldn’t be too bad. As long as it’s properly equipped. ---

Snow tires and 150lbs in the back and you’ll be fine. I drove my 88 IROC like that for a few years before repainting it. And it was fun 🙂 ---
