There's also the issue of all that hp and torque being able to properly function in the snow. Even with snow tires, that's a whole ton of power that needs to be able to be put down.
I've driven a Mercedes CLS63 AMG in the snow with snow tires, traction just wasn't there and forget about going up a hill on your first try.

No....I've never driven a 400 HP, rwd, 6 spd vehicle in the snow.....oh wait....I have! It might have snow chains on my hey, I was towing my R1 and the snow was a few feet deep on parts of the highway/backroads that the road plows hadn't touched yet.
That was when it was cam'd, so an extra ~30 rwhp......mine was a factory retard (not a factory freak which makes more power than its suppose to) and made ~360rwhp after the baby cam was installed.
Lots of people drive high HP cars in adverse conditions with no problems. By the way, who cares if you can drive your 700whp Porsche in the snow? I know its awesome to see but you'll get from point A to point B in the same time as the 600rwhp car. And when you get caught in a patch of black ice or an icy patch of whatever, just because you have AWD or 4WD won't mean jack.
