    well after driving a trans am through the snow ok and a c5 vette through a blizzard i hope i'd be able to drive the vx in the snow. It's such a tough call. I'm tryin to either sell or trade in the vx for another trans am, but a small part of me wants to keep it for off roading and bein able to go up to colorado in winter conditions. its such a hard call

    Thumbs up

    Everyone is giving you great info about the VX and snow.
    Yes, tires are the most important (I prefer an All-Terrain tire, but am going to see how well my Pro Comp Xterrains work this year).
    No matter what tires you have, you can still lose traction on ice & snow, so be carefull.
    Yes, the VX DOES have a rear LSD.
    The "WINTER MODE" is great for keeping the slipping down as you start to move, but the TOD works great as long as you don't mash the skinny pedal.
    When you do feel the need to mash the skinny pedal (and it IS tempting), find a wide open space & have a blast!
    I have found the VehiCROSS to be almost unstoppable. You can get high-centered on giant mounds of frozen ice & snow, but you have to be pretty goofy to get in THAT predicament. Me... I only end up that way 3 or 4 times a winter!

    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.
