You should try driving a supercharged LT1 on 1/4" of snow! It doesn't work well. I don't think I got above 15 mph trying to drive home from work in my old 93 Indy Pace Car. All you had to do was take your foot off the brake and with the supercharger and automatic trans it would start to spin by itself. I did hit some black ice one night about 21 years ago with my first car, a 69 Camaro convertible. I had 3 friends in the car and we were heading back from ice skating. It was 35 degrees out, but somehow a puddle that kept getting sprayed onto the road froze(must have been the windchill effect). Nothing like getting sideways at 50 mph with nothing but fences on either side of the road. I managed to steer my way out of it without touching the curb! Gotta watch out for those slick spots.
