Check out these two videos of the Coupe on the Bosch test track showing the difference between having the VDC on and off in the snow.

Do you have a sedan or coupe?

With the coupe, if you have the factory 18" tires.. fuhgetta bout it. Not happening. Anything even resembling snow is trecherous at best. Some guys here have put on a set of snow tires, Blizzaks seem to be the one of choice. I'm waiting for this fall to see if they release a set that will fir the oem 18s, if not looks I will be buying a set of 17" rims.

Re: snow driving ability? g35 good/bad

on the coupe u will need snow tire and 17s. thats what i did you will kill ur self if u keep ur 18s summers on over the winter. remember it is rear wheel drive so the back will slip out if u are not carfull. As long as u dont go nuts with the gas u will be fine. I never really lost control of this car in the snow i would say it does a pritty damn good job of keeping tis self right.
here is a pic of my 17s i put on
