I used to put a couple cinderblocks in the back of my '82 and '91. Only time I ever had a big problem was once in a storm of freezing rain I had to come to a stop and couldn't get going again. When I got out of the car I saw the road was covered in a quarter inch of ice. That day was a little scary with all the cars sliding to the side as we came up on a stoplight.
I never put anything in the rear of my '02 (I had a V6, not V8) and never had any major problems. It did have the Traction Control.
I agree completely with the constant speed and small amounts of braking.
Now if it were a LOT of snow I wouldn't take the Camaro out. LOL But 3 or 4 inches doesn't bother me that much. Luckily we don't get that much snow here in Southern NJ.
