I think Winter is a really good opportunity to hone stop-go skills in a MT. If you're worried you don't have enough traction off a start, you're going to have a lot of problems since the current automotive industry is about putting out the largest numbers on the brochure for >>HP<</TQ (majority). If this is your first Winter in a MT car//RWD car, you first priority is Winter tires. Like, don't even think about sand bags. Just get Winter tires, take it out for a spin and see how you like it. If you find you're spinning the tires a lot, put some sand bags in and take them out after a week and see if you have improved. All in all, having more weight in the back upsets the balance in a very minimal way. If you plan to connect drifts around a few corners in the Winter for some fun then don't use sand bags, but if you're just going to drift around one corner and straighten out, the bags will let you swing out easier but more of a pain to connect if you are a newbie.
