I had a '95 Camaro Z28, similar to the GT in that it is a rear-wheel drive car with a big V8. I had it for 2 Michigan winters. With the stock, low profile tires (and traction control), the car had a hard time gettting grip under any circumstance. It would just spin the tires under acceleration, and it would wash out or understeer through turns. It was tricky to drive and demanded a lot of attention. I find traction control to be useless in snow, usually more trouble then a help. ABS is much more helpful, although you still need to be careful.
After I thew on a set of winter tires, the situation changed completely and for the better. It was a night & day change, and made the car much, much easier and safer to drive. It would go through deep snow fine, and overall traction was HUGELY improved. I ended up putting them on cheap winter rims, and kept them stored away after winter. A set of winter tires helps out tremendously with these types of cars. Good luck.
