I've routinely done 80mph on the highway in fairly heavy rain. The car handles beautifully.

your right, after looking it up, gap aparently does not have any thing to do with it, but it doesnt help either.
I have already had it hydroplane in puddles already. some of the roads where i live are 55mph only, when wet they are too dangerous for that.
