I can't argue with anyone that has never owned a four wheel drive, or driven a front wheel drive in the snow. Our perspectives are entirely different. I have driven all of them, successfully and without accindent. If you want to drive your Cobra in the snow, well that's your choice.
My friends and I used to race around a lake in high school in the winter. I had a Mach 1 that was a blast to drive on the cleared oval on the lake. Power sliding almost completely around was an acquired skill. Drove that Mach for four years. I'm quite sure i even passed a few 4x4's in the ditch.
I'm all grown up now and enjoy the stable ride and peace of mind of a four wheel drive. Never been in the ditch, but have pulled countless two wheel drive cars and trucks out. Tried to pull a four wheel drive out once with a two wheel drive truck but came to the realization that - any ditch I could pull him out of, he could haven driven out of on his own. Plus I have the benefit of plowing the snow from my drive so that two wheel drives have access.
In my opinion, desperation, ignorance and immaturity are the only reasons anyone would drive a Cobra in the snow. There are just too many others ways to enjoy the winter and your high performance race bread car.
