I cant stand the sound of road debris blasting the sides of it. And having to drive 45 in heavy rain because of the hydroplaning with the wide front tires. I bought a 4x4 quickly after buying my Camaro. There was no way in hell I was going to drive this car in the snow and salt so I was going to buy a 4x4 for winter anyway. But after the 1st drive in the rain I had to get a daily driver right away.

Handles better in a down pour with the PZERO's than any other car I've driven.

the wider the tires the easier its going to hydroplane. The v6 is probably fine.

I try to aviod driving my Camaro in the rain when I can. Wax/sealant doesn't matter when your car is bright white. Just the crap from kicked up from the brakes is enough to coat the car in grime, nevermind road spray....

I'm fortunate, only been caught in hard rain once...had no choice, had to pick up my son, and the wife wasn't home from work yet. I try and leave it sit if its raining. I have my truck, ane we have the wife's car. Before this winter hits, I'm rerigging the truck to accommodate another car seat.

DD so I will drive it no matter what. Seems to handle well in the rain, just waiting for winter to hit.

Driving in the rain is fine. No issues, even on 22,000 mile Pirelli's. However, washing and detailing is in the near future.

No issues with rain (just wont drive in snow/salt conditions). I usually try to wait for a good rain storm to wash away the salt and sand that the town uses. Otherwise no issues with rain...except when it drys I get so much road grim stains and spotting all over. Looks horrible.

Same here in the winter, wait for the rain to wash away the salt/sand.

i usually don't purposefully drive in the rain, usually get caught in it. really does a number on the under carriage and wheels wells. avoid as much as possible. only driven it in very lite snow acouple times usually in the late/mid spring. Luckily work is only a short distance away.
