I drive a FWD car in the summer and a RWD car in the winter…
My car ('78 Malibu Wagon 400ci.SBC, 2.78 gears) is fine in the snow. Partly my madd driving skills, but, the winter tires I got mad a night/day difference.
Tires are a plus!
OH, and operation back brakes help…suck when u hit the brakes and the rear end wants to go out the the right at a stop.
