I disagree, the car is very stable in the rain if you drive properly. I've taken 2 FTD's (fastest raw time of day) at auto-x in the Z. Just don't try to mash the gas pedal mid-corner with the VDC turned off. With VDC turned on you really can't get into trouble other than driving too fast.

One day it was POURING hard... got cut off by a charger who lost traction lane changing... I slam on my brakes to slow down to avoid rear ending him... INSTANTLY my rear slides out... And although VDC kicked in as I was mid corner - the rear threw itself out w/ the traction light blinking. If not for my reflex time which I spent countersteering I would have been in a ditch upside down. DO NOT EXPECT VDC to save you in the rain. All I am saying is... If you drive the same way you do when its dry when its wet - VDC on or off you will pay for it... |
