Default 4.10s in snow

I've been thinking about getting rid of the dd and spending money on the mustang. So how do you think 4.10s + snow tires + stock rims be in snow?

I do, ive driven all types of vehicles in the snow. Anything RWD in snow is horrible. Sport cars are out of the question, let alone any basic rwd car or truck.

4.10's in the snow IS possible...but its a total bitch to even attempt. You spin your rear too fast to actually get anywhere. Starting in second helps, but as everyone else has said, its best to just stick with the beater in the snow.

I live in the Buffalo burbs and drive a 97 4.6 T-bird w/ 225/60r16's through the winter. no problem. this past year I didn't even use snow tires, just my BFG "traction T/A's". I've had as winter cars, 84 chevette, 84 caprice, 79 buick, and my bird, all RWD. steer with the gas pedal.
