Stupid question :D

Ok, how many of you lost traction today in the rain and kicked that back end out? I Tokyo drifted an onramp (with one hand) to the 241.. Sign said 25 for curve, I was doing 30...

Ok, maybe a little higher.

Told ya it was a stupid question.

well no traction control meant for Adam having a little fun but I am too over protective of Tracy to do too much. meh it's my dream car, i had fun showing off to my parents what an LS1 can do in the rain, my dad was totally stoked to see my car do a nice long fish tail.

I got a little squirly as well, but I do have to give big props to the new Vredestien tires, they had alot more grip in the wet than my old Cumho tires ever did

Bummer, glad it didn't hydro lock. I am so afraid when it rains, my old car I had a cold air intake setup up where my filter sat right behind my fog light. So lucky I never had any issues.
