370Z cannot go through water ??

The host explained it at the beginning. Water getting into the engine through the intakes. The car might be modified with CAI which may sit lower in the front bumper then stock air boxes, thus sucking in water at a lower level.

I was hosting a cruise through the hill country for a bunch of Houston folks several years ago when a sudden rainstorm hit. There wasn't even any standing water yet, but the guys running Stillen G3's insisted we pull over immediately due precisely to that concern.

JAR I have been caught out in brutal rainstorms mid road trips.... let's say it wasn't enjoyable. Standing water, streams of rivers in the grooved portion of the road. Hydro plane and tons of other fun.

Car was find but he'll if I saw a dip of water and I was driving I'd pull over and say **** it lol.
