I heart AWD! Then again, I live in a very wet and (sometime) snowy state. Here, a GT-R or 911 Turbo would make a better all-weather supercar than a Z06 or another powerful RWD car.

On the surface this seems to make sense, but would you really want to be driving that kind of car in the snow anyway? Additionally, if you did own such a supercar, I strongly suspect you would have a more ordinary daily driver as well. Why would you risk damaging your supercar when you could drive something cheaper and safer? It's not like you can really enjoy these cars in the snow or rain anyway.

I'd want to drive a great car every chance I got. If awd means I can drive in snow, then great.

Are you guys really arguing with someone who called AWD gay? Let's move on.

Haha! Gay - the term used by teenagers to describe pretty much everything whether they like it or not.

I'm getting tired of hearing the speculation about the Toyota/Subaru FT-86 or whatever it's called. I'll believe it when it's officially being sold at dealerships.

Many GT-R owners use it daily and only have it as their only car. Regardless, my statement was that an AWD car (super or not) is universally better as an ALL-WEATHER vehicle.

P.S. I love driving my SUV in the snow.
