I have no doubt you can drive an ACR in the rain safely, but you have to give it 100% of your attention. You can't relax and take it for granted the car will stick and just go ahead and power your way out of a turn or pass someone on the highway. I don't even think it has traction control. That's not really what you want in a "road car".

I had roughly no tread on my PZeros before I took them off and generally had no problem with the at or above the speed limit in the rain.
Also, I prefer to give the car 100% of my attention 100% of the time that I am driving. Generally a good idea.
Traction control... I don't need no stinkin' traction control!
