i feel your pain man. I got in a wreck yesterday morning in the parking lot of my work. Mine wasnt nearly that bad, but some lady took her turn to wide in the rain, slammed her brakes on but it was raining, and hit my front bumper cover, front drivers side quarter panel, and drivers side door. Looks like itll be a little bondo and repaint, might be a good time to repaint my car since ive been looking into it.

Glad you're ok.
Are these cars really that hard to drive in the rain, or are people just careless? It could also be due to a combination of tire and rear end mods that cause people to have these problems. I don't get why this happens so often...

i was being careless since for the same reason i was on the slow lane and driving under 50mph.
i remember last year i didnt have any problems in the rain but then again at that time i had 17x9.5 wheels with 275s and no rear suspension mods so who knows.

i wish. Ive been looking at a few different colors, hot rod/flat black (murda ), some sort of kandy blue, white, or viper steel grey. If I end up doing it I think ill go with a kandy blue just because white doesnt have the deep shine that I love. The hot rod black is a problem because you cant polish it which means itll fade down the line and viper steel grey ive seen on a few cars and I love the color but I think the kandy blue will be a little more rare. I also think a lite teal would look pretty sick.

I wonder if drag suspension has anything to do with it. I did have my old lt1 hydro a long time ago.. luckily there were no walls or cars out because I slid off the road, down a hill, and onto the access road. No damage to the car, but it was raining so hard it took me a minute to even figure out where I was, I was just spinning, and sliding for god.. like 200 yards prolly.
