I thought it was just a one off but the next year I saw the same Camaro still on Cup 2's parked the same area. So even tho I wouldn't do it, it can be done.

Do not recommend. Back when I was an engineer at Chrysler, one time I had signed out an M plate Chrysler Sebring to do some testing on. It was a Euro-spec car with a VW TDI powertrain and summer tires. One day I was driving it home on a winter day with light snow and going through downtown Detroit a light turned yellow in front of me and I slid through the intersection at ~15mph, helpless to do much. I knew they were not good tires for the season but that sure underlined it for me.
