I've done 147 in the S2K in rain and it felt fine. But I've also done 60mph in the same car through standing water and thought I was going to die.

I drove around 100mph all the way back from the nurburgring in the rain. Was absolutely fine.

I'd be more concerned about a puddle causing the back end to overtake the front...

I think is more to do with areas of standing water or a sudden braking requirement rather than smooth high speed in the wet.
