Cant say this enough! Ive driven RWD 500hp Sedans in snow and have had a Touareg in the snow. Theres no substitue for 4x4 or AWD in the snow or terrible weather. Tires can make a huge difference in the cars my STS-V was an example. Great winter tires make it a lot easier, but in turns if you catch some ice/snow the AWD would help pull you along where in RWD your outta luck.
No matter what Intertia and Physics still apply in all situations.
