Why do people say not to vtec in the wet? Surely it's fine if you can manage to gradually increase the power, rather than mashing the pedal to the floor?
Exactly.

You should do the Budgie skim-reading tactic, then it doesn't matter.

Ok, just so it makes sense then. . . .

The facts are the same.

Corner, VTEC & rain.

Nothing went wrong.

Just goes to show the car doesn't have a mind of it's own and try and kill you

If you drive it to suit the conditions.

Sarcasm doesn't work when written.

"My passenger reckons we did a 360 degree spin but I'm not convinced."..a red herring me thinks.

Ah, becomes slightly clear now

My view is that if you bin it, you ran out of talent.

VTEC in the rain is quite straight forward, on the right road. Seems a lot of people don't get it though! Like lifting off, or VTECing on a bad camber etc...

I think I used to prefer driving in the wet - exciting
