Default Ride in the rain??

Many of you ride in the rain with stock 245 tires. I have more than one car so most of the time I don't use my Gt in the rain. Man my stock GT will kick out its tail so easily on a wet road. Fun, but dangerous when you don't know what you are doing. I used to live up north and drive a pickup in the snow so I am used to slippery surfaces. But I ws suprised how easy the tail comes out on wet roads. Not complaining, just a comment.

I have traction control, but I always turn it off. When I spun the car, I tried to do it, but was surprised at how easy it was. No problems just a comment.

What?! 98 after ? Man all Gt's have traction control. For instance mine is patented just for me, it consists of highly designed parts called a gas pedal, a break pedal, and for your higher end cars a manual shifter. My traction control was designed from alien spacecraft pieces gathered from area 51...<IMG src=smileys/smiley8.gif border="0"> <edited><editID>mabguru</editID><editDate>37992.7307986111</editDate></edited>

That's not true, TC was not standard on my 00' GT when I bought it. Not even in '02.</P>
