Ummm....yeah.

I've driven lots of rear wheel drive cars in the winter, including my old C3 and all 4 of my HEMI powered Chargers. 3 of which are/were SRTs.

Proper tires are all that is required above and beyond common sense.

HELL YES!!! the very best handling mod to my '72 was the '89 vette wheels/50 series tires.....after that the rack steering, then the plastic rear sping 360 lbs, and 460 front springs, and Billy Stein shocks damn thing runs/handles FINE....had some issues with the DPFI....and I lerned summfin....that LOWER fuel pressure makes the fuel dribble out and so not a mist/atomized? and so the engine ran too RICH!!!! increase the FP and engine is enjoying life.....

I remember the daze gawn buy of tires that never stuck.....

Rear wheel drive was all we had in passenger cars when I started driving. And as a lifelong Minnesota resident I can say with absolute certainty, front wheel drive is better in the snow.

True story. I'd just gotten my drivers license permit and convinced my father to take me out driving one snowy afternoon. We'd gone a few miles without incident when we came up to a fairly busy intersection. I slowly applied the brakes and started sliding. Then, in my infinite wisdom mashed the brakes because more is better right? Not so much. We slid right through a red light and narrowly avoided getting broadsided.

The car? A 1977 Monte Carlo. The year? 1977. The damn thing was brand new. He handled it well. "Maybe I should drive until the roads are better. You pile up your mothers new car she'll kill both of us."

Not NEAR as harrowing but about 15 years earlier, my Dad/Mom were a single car family and so I knew damn well that Dad needed the car for work, Insurance agency....so I didn't bother even asking for a license at 16 because of no CAR available....but at age 17, Dad encouraged me to get a license.....and so the longest sedan that GM ever made was a '59 Caddy Fleetwood Sedan DeVille it was SO long Dad used to set the garage door down on the tailfins serious....ass end stuck out over a FOOT....maybe 18 inches.......SO I took HSscrewal driver ed....not an issue really....Bill Nickey was the teacher, and all the guys called him 'Wild Bill' Nickey....for many good reasons.....and so I could not pass any of the driver ed tests in Dad's car.....sorta like trying to guide the Queen Mary down a side street.....

SO Dad and Wild Bill gave the hell up on the parallel parking portion, and I went for the exam.....and managed to do it right the FIRST TIME....car was maybe an inch shorter than the space available.....dumb luck on my part.....

so off to screwal/kolledge and in that time frame, folks moved out to the hills, 2 acre zoning and Mom got a car that I put some 25k miles on it, and it sat in the garage for some 25 years with a total of 36k miles on it.....

Different generations Mom/Dad born in 1903/1905.......
