Thanks V6 for safe hard rain commute
Every day brings a new reason to love my RubyCamaro. Today was the best in a while. I drive about 40 miles through parts of 3 counties from rural highways to city streets. Today it was raining very hard for the entire commute. The roads were standing with 1-3 inches (solid) of water plus intermittant ponding of 6-12 inches deepest on the right side of the road. Traffic was traveling at between 40 & 50 MPH. My wonderful V6 never wavered, shimmied or hydroplaned one bit! I could feel the wheels hit the deepest puddles briefly then it was like they were not there. I assume the traction control kept my commute safe. It felt so good to have confidence my Camaro would keep me safe as long as I used good common sense in my driving. Thank you Camaro design team for my beloved daily driver!! :happyanim:

Good to know! :thumbsup:

Since ive gotten my camaro it seems like the most rain we have gotten is just a sprinkle. Really wouldnt mind a bit of a hard rain but its been weeks since we've gotten anything serious.
|
I've gotten cought up in several tropical downpours this summer in both cars. Both are solid as a rock in the rain and never wavered, traction and braking is top notch ...
|
Someone thought that summer only tires wouldn't perform well in the rain. I never had any problems, and never went through any of the stuff you did.
I have driven the camaro in 6 inches of unplowed snow with winter tires, and was very impressed with it. |
I think on top of that traction control that big body weight pays off to keep it firmly planted.
Still wouldn't get silly with wrong set of tires on. |
Glad to hear as my wife is driving it tonight and it has been on and off with the rain.Now I can be assured she is safe on her drive home.
