Be smart, buy good tires, and watch the performance mods. Honestly, I'd buy a $300 beater or something. I went out and tried to move mine in the snow. I consider myself a good winter driver. But between the performance mods, and the tires, I had alot of trouble just moving the car. Then again, these tires are made for dry and wet pavement, and have a snow/ice rating of n/a. Good tires and you shouldn't have any problems, 'cept rust. If at all possible, buy a beater. I drove my '03 GT all winter. Didn't have any problems, but I wouldn't do it again.
