Default 2006 Mustang in Snowy Conditions?

Hey everyone?

I'm in the process of buying a 2006 v6 mustang coupe (manual), however my only concern is how it will handle in pennsylvania where I just re-located when it has some of it hard snowy conditions.

I also thought about winter tires and some extra weight in the trunk. Any suggestions or is it simply a bad decisions?

Thanks!

V6 (manual) from Michigan here. I deal with a lot of snow here too. To tell you the truth the snow handling SUCKS!!! But it is worth every minute. Snow tires and some weight in the trunk always help. Belive it or not, a full tank of gas can make a little difference too. A posi rear end of some kind (t-lok) will help A LOT!!! Good luck!!

this last winter in NY was pretty snowy and getting out of parking sucks. you'll need to go back and forth. it is pretty tuff but I like the way it handles on icy road
