You can still spin wheels even in 3rd! :-? Just don't press the loud pedal as hard.  ;D  :y

No. The snow mode is what people often press to overide an Omega or Senator wanting to hold onto 1st gear longer when cold -  warming up cats quicker.

Snow mode holds 3rd gear to help prevent wheelspin and I believe it switches off after at 30 mph.

All information is in the owners manuals as far as I know.
