So I've seen all the signatures and what not but my first experience was in some heavy rain 2 days ago.

Top down cruising from Alabama back to Mississippi. I'm going about 80mph and it starts to sprinkle....then it starts to pour real hard.

Nothing inside was wet and it was awesome seeing the rain bounce off the windshield. As I was driving by other people were staring at me like I was crazy, but I was completely dry and so was the car inside.

Until I hit traffic that slowed down to about 50 mph...

LOL... I couldn't help but laugh though..




Love my S...even though I'm gonna have to rebuild the motor so soon after ownership. (low compression cylinder 4 - previous owner wasn't the best)

 

yah i drive with the top down when it rains sometimes....but you are crazy going 80mph in a first generation AP1....s2000s get twitchy in the rain...i never pass 60mph

-a

 

But if you keep it above xx mph with the top down you wont get wet. Mythbusters confirmed it

 

I've heard that by many... but I haven't experienced this twitchiness everyone is afraid of.

It could be due to the low compression I'm down on a lot of power....


I have to TRY to get the tires to break loose in the rain from 1st.

150 compression in cylinder 4.

 

top down and rain is the best stuff...

 

people in California just don't understand how to drive in rain... a little sprinkle and they freak out and start to lose control

 

i did this yesterday on the way to work, halfway a sprinkle started, i thought hmm should i put the top up at the next light? i decided no, just drive faster. i wasn't wet either...

 

I've been caught out in the rain 45 min from home in a 500 hp Cobra with et streets on....lol.

 

I've done it, it feels great

 

I couldn't get it to work. I got up to 75 and decided I should slow down, but at 75 I still felt the rain just a little.
