Most if not all new RWD cars now are equipped with traction control. You don't have the plowing condition with RWD that is common in FWD. It's better system is debatable for sure, but I think the industry and consumers want performance and giving up a little in foul weather is the tradeoff.
Speaking of the Solstice, has anyone seen the solstice in Hot Rod magazine lately? It's the corvette 500 HP V8, this solstice is definitely a beast.
And they are coming out soon with a 260 HP solstice later this year...I think is supercharged?
