Are you talking about spinning the rear wheels? I would imagine an auto coupe can do it. But perhaps you can clarify why you're asking and we can better answer your question...

It is completly normal i thought you where talking about burning out. Might want to check your tire's though. So you dont go drifting off the road when you in the highway and your accelerating to hard off a stop. Thats another thing thats making it slip

Definatly if it snow's/rains over there keep it low speed and if you havent driven a rear wheel drive car put snow tires. I went to parking lot's and got familar with driving in the rain its fun after a while but know your limit's

I'd avoid using any summer tire on snow. You will have no traction at all. If the temperatures get low in your area, consider moving to a high performance all season tire. Summer tires are designed to work better in warmer temperatures. Low temperatures, tend to harden a summer tire's rubber too much and you'll end up with very poor traction.
