Default This is why i dont drive my car in the rain

When it was stage 1 it spun up in 3rd, now it is stage 4 it spins up in 4th at 110mph (on the test track )
It had only just started to drizzle as i was on my way home

Safely tucked up now though

youl probly find itl do it in 5th no problem when its proper wet, mine used to.

quality way of scaring passengers is drive in too low revs in high gear in the soaking wet, say 50mph in 5th, and put foot to floor and let it rise into the powerband without changing down.

nothing, nothing, nothing, blam, back end steps out about 6foot at about 90mph when they least expect it and they shat themselfs, lol
