Lol, we got over a foot of snow. Hellcat fun is closed from first salt to usually about April in PA.
Yes, besides snow cleanup everything is closed down here, I was bored all day.

If one uses something like Pirelli SottoZero Tires, can a hellcat widebody go through snow ok?

I only drive sport cars, i never own anything other than sport cars. I drive all sport cars in winter performance tires, i never buy "snow and ice" tires, I use all Pirelli winter performance versions. BUT, i never had a car above 3000 lbs + this torque. I am guessing it cannot steer well out of obstacles, is only concern in ice and snow, due to weight. rear traction is whatever, people that complain about that really should not be winter driving. But, i am wondering about the steering and braking in slush, snow and ice.

Absolutely not.
I am also considering the six speed manual gearbox version. I do not trust anything aside from european RWD cars to have the proper engineering to work in the snow with automatic transmissions.

Manuals can adjust torque easier, no back and forth dummy computers. Manual gearbox + 18" wheels + Performance winters? Still no?

I learned how to drive in the snow with 1988 Camaro manual transmission and did not have winter tires just 80's version of all-seasons.
