Not that bad in the rain. Was driving around today in pouring rain.
You'll spin em a little as you start in 1st, just drive with a lite foot when its wet.
If starts sliding biggest thing is just not freak out, stay calm and smooth, dont go
jab'n the brakes or noth'n and keep good tires on there.
It'll suck *** in the snow and ice. You'll be borrowing the folks car if its really crappy out
after your first 720 down the freeway at 70, lol.

RE: first car?
My 5.0 is my second car, i am 17 and i love it, it is very easy and fun to work on. YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO CAREFUL! The first week that i had it, i was pulling it off a lift at school because the starter went bad and i did not close the door fast enough an i tore it off on the lift pole. Now i have a red door and my car has color change paint on it so its goint to cost me like 800 to paint the door. Its over a month later and i regret it every day, I learned that you dont really appreciate something until you wreck it. Its going to be a while before i can afford to paint it and until then my car looks like crap and i get made fun of every day EVEN THOUGH IT RUNS AND DRIVES PERFECT not to mention that it goes like hell!! and would beat any of their cars.
If you get one take good care of it!! They are great cars though!
