Yeah it is a lot of information to process. If you look at it on a 4k res screen it is quite impressive though. That's why I like the note 4. You can take 4k and view it natively.

It takes my dual processor computer some time to render 4k video when I mess around it. All 64 core can he maxed out at times.

I have driven mine in at least 8" and it made it through fine. You can tell its front dominant because it dosen't really let you correct for a slide like a RWD. I guess most people say FWD is better in the snow because it requires less skill to start off. I prefer RWD in the snow because it allows you to correct. Hopefully with the new AWD system they make it more RWD on a slide.

IDK, I use lower gears and engine braking in the snow and there is plenty of ass end tomfoolery to be had....

From my little experience in the snow this year. I liked the little bit of rear wheel play, fronts would get you pointed the right way pretty easy and the rear end wasn't sloppy at all unless you really forced it. Definitely could be better, but I dig it.

I am only quoting the 13+SHO on my perspective and OP,personally these cars can probably do even better in the snow than originally anticipated,the issue lies due to the small clearance around the wheel well and especially in the front which observed large amounts of snow getting stuck inside the wheel well and giving the front wheels a harder time to turn and spin,this was based on using the stock rims with all season tires,but overall it exceeded my expectations.

Excellent observations, Z!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Add coilovers and custom wheel setup....sounds like we need those heated wheel well inserts I was talking about. I recall just about every car on the roads this year having same issue. Even our Trailblazer fills the nice gap with snow when in 4 wheel.

Maybe an active wheel well scraper to prevent the buildup ...  I don't know if a seal coating on the liners would make the stuff slide right off ...
