In addition, take off in slippery conditions can be a pain even with traction control & mode switch in "W". The guy in the Cavalier along side you will kick your butt for traction when the snow's flying . That being said, in light snow or even in moderate, the car drives solid with a great feel for the road.
I will usually leave the SRT at home when conditions suck. I'd rather ditch my 'utility-mobile' than the rocket-mobile!
