Default My R/T in snow and ice

Have to say I'm really pleased and suprised with how good my 6 speed R/T does in snow and ice. I'm sure the pos and all season RSA Good Year help. Can't tell you how many people are suprised to see me driving it in that kind of weather . And can't belive it goes that good. I went to Home Depot right after several inchs of ice and some snow on it . A guy with a new Chevy truck couldn't even pull up to a parking spot over a little hump of ice . He just sat there rocking forward and back . And finally gave up . He saw me pull up with no problem. And when going in the store at the same time. He said I know Dodge is tough . But not that tough. I took it that I could drive on the snow and ice better than him . I told him it had the 6 speed and pos rearend. Which he didn't have a pos. The weight of the new Challenger is a plus for traction in ice and snow . I'm very happy with the winter ability of my R/T since I traded in my 07 Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 on it. Or does the 6 speed and the ability to be in so many gears for the conditon of the road help. And the Hemi has so much lugging power at low rpm. Or the pos . What experence have any of the automatic R/T had in winter condition's.
