I was in the back seat of a Mustang GT. We were driving down the freeway and the rear broke loose into a 180 on dry pavement.

When we got married, my wife had a 81 Camaro. While we were in college we weren’t going out yet but were in the same group of friends. We were heading somewhere once in two cars in a couple inches of snow.

I looked in the mirror and saw her camaro doing multiple 360’s. Probably five or six then stopped in a snowbank.

She said it happened a couple other times.

Yep, 360 in a Mustang with slicks on the back of a friend’s car. We had a 1972 Camaro 307, Not great in the snow but I do remember taking it skiing once.

I have owned Two 80 and a 78 Camaro here in the Boston area.
YES they are horrible in snow.

Then i bought a supra Turbo that would get stuck on wet mowed grass or 1/10 inch of snow.
Then i bought a used but great condition Infinity J30...
THAT car was the absolute worst car i have ever driven in bad weather.
My knuckles still ache..some fingernails have yet to grow back.
Unbelievable.
random 270 degree wipeouts doing 30 in moderate snow....stuff like that.

Best snow car i ever drove was my grandmothers otherwise POS 86 Buick Skyhawk.
that car could plow through almost anything.
