Why are 240's so bad in the snow?

[Natty]

It seems that the first thing a potential 240sx buyer asks is "I hear it's bad in the snow, is it?"

Now, I know they aren't too good in the snow and most of that is attributed to it being RWD. But doesn't it seem that people are a bit overly concerned about it when it comes to the 240sx?

What I mean is, we get this alot, but it doesn't seem to be a huge concern to other RWD drivers.

Either a) the 240sx is unusally bad in the snow or b) we just get a bad rap, for some reason.

I think it's B, but I have no idea why. Anyoen wanna take a stab at it?
