I guess it’s not safe if you are a non-driving mofo. I did slow down, but I’ve been stuck in the rain with DR’s plenty of times and been fine. I’ll risk it, thanks. I’d rather have to slow down in the rain, then have the car spinning out of control in the dry. ---

Or maybe just keep your right foot under control and dont cause yourself to spin out… DRs in the rain is retarded. ---

I’d rather have to slow down in the rain, then have the car spinning out of control in the dry. the car shouldnt spin out if u are going in a stright line with comp mode on. thats what its for. but DR in the rain is spin out every turn. na, ill risk it. ---

Competitive Driving mode allows the driver to have full control of the rear wheels while the Active Handling system helps steer the vehicle by selective brake application Active Handling helps maintain directional control by selectively applying any one of the vehicles brakes ---

Not your’s specifically, just in general. TC will close the TB and take away all fun and attempts at accelerating fast. Comp mode will let the wheels spin freely at your right foots discression while the AH keeps the car from spining out. sounds to me like a no brainer. im unsure y u have your shorts in a bunch over this. ---

Deadbeat- Just get a set of Pilot Sport PS2’s for DD’ing. Fuck DR’s. I’m down for meeting everybody whenever/wherever. I’m thinking Saturday night @ O’Tooles. 9pm sharp. I’m sure most of you guys (Deadbeat, Ryan, Travis) would pwn me pretty good. Until I upgrade the turbos. Then you prolly still would beat me. ---

Solid axle, IRS, DRs, street tires, etc. If you cant keep the tail in line you dont belong behind the wheel. The traction loss we’re talking about is completely controlled by your right foot. And DRs in the rain is actually stupid because you can lose traction while coasting in a straight line. ---

ive NEVER lost control in a straight line even with my Et Drags. I hear all these “horror” stories, but 9/10 people just push shit too hard when they shouldnt. Ive dailied DRs for the past 5 yrs, and yes, that includes snow travel as well. They arent that bad IF you can actually drive, and you know what to expect form them.
