It did very well because it stayed home in a nice garage while I took my wife's new Ford Escape (with 4WD). I made it in and out of Rockwood multiple times, unlike Mr. West's rental car.
The reality is I've driven the Shelby through more than enough snow, including several trips across Wolf Creek in the snow. It's limitation has always been having to break trail through more than 4" of new snow. Those wide front tires push up the snow in front of them and it can't get enough traction to drive over the pile of snow.
