Step 1: Get rich

Step 2: Buy a tank and/or bulldozer

Step 3: Problem solved, enjoy a cold beer



Okay, on a serious note, I do not add weight to the rear. As mentioned above, learning to drive in adverse conditions and spending the money on the proper tire selection are the most important things you can do. I drove a 2008 Shelby GT500 for 2 years in Virginia as my daily driver, plenty of time spent in snow/ice with that car. Throttle application from a stop was the trickiest part, don't want to stall but too much and that 450 foot pounds of torque would cause instant rear wheel spin. The trickiest start I ever had was not in snow/ice, but trying to go from a stop on a rainy day at a stoplight where I was facing uphill. That one wasn't fun, especially since the woman behind me literally about a foot from my rear bumper. Somehow I pulled it off.
