The car is a RWD and despite all the noise to the contrary, has a fair bit of torque delivered to the rear wheels.

If you are not used to driving a (somewhat) powerful RWD car is low traction conditions, you are going to have a few tank slappers like your described. The stock tires are certainly going to make this a regular event.

Was driving around in a fresh snowfall this morning. Had a little fun with the nannies turned full "OFF" and then switched back for the commute. Even with the nannies set to full "ON" this car manages to shake its tail. The "Sport" mode allows some pretty good slip angles before it steps in and unless I wanted to be focused the whole time I am driving, I would not bother.

It would be educational to drive a Mustang in similar snow conditions to see how it behaves.
