For one I can say it will only be as good as you can handle it. My wife has an 05 Mustang GT with an auto and that thing totally sucks in any sort of slippery road. Be it snow, ice or even rain and that little beast has one hell of a time grabbing any asphalt. I can drive to an extent but I am a long time bad weather driver over here in Chicago so I amused to cars like this on bad roads but it is a chore and a real handful.

Maybe those 600 extra pounds will be somewhat useful!

My SRT has the Supercar Tires...they do not like wet weather...not called near four season tires for nothing...
With the right tires you should have fewer problems...but horsepower and slippery surfaces don't mix...
Would have to use extra care at all times...been there, done that...that's why I live in "sunny" Arizona.

I remember seeing the test mules in the snow in some spy shots last year.
I know my Magnum sucks in the snow.
