I got trapped behind a RWD Chrysler (not Magnum, a sedan, probably 300) in light snow last month. He had decent tires (the snow was sticking to them, they were totally white), limited slip or locking diff, and a gentle foot (or traction control), but the tires just slipped 3-5mph without the car really getting anywhere. More of the same when we got to the street, but he did eventually get up to 20-25mph. This was in maybe 1/2" of fresh but wet snow.
Probably just like my Camaro. With proper narrow-profile snow tires and a bit of weight in the trunk it got around just fine. Stock? Acted like you described.
