No matter what anyone tells you, its not going to handle as good as a front wheel drive car in the snow / rain for that matter. But on dry land, you will be very happy that you picked an american v8.

This is wrong information. While the FWD car will so better, the Trans Am will do just fine with some allseason tires or snow tires for the winter. I know plenty of guys that do it. Just don't try it on DR's or a good performance tire. Then you are up shit creek.
Nothing to really look out for in the later model Trans Am's. I would avoid 98's seeing as they were the first year for the new models. They have a couple minor things that set them apart from the rest of the late 4th gen T/A's. Just things that could affect tuning later on. Listen the the motor on a cold start up. If it ticks slightly and fades away, that is okay, but if that tick persists, I would skip that car.
Good luck!!
