Had a close call lastnight..
Well last weekend i went home for the weekend to help my parents clean up our property from tropical storm Fay, so many trees down well i was heading back to orlando last night it was about 9:30pm and it just got raining so the roads where slick, well some idiot in a mustang gt was coming off a on ramp getting on 95 South. look like he tried to drift the corner, lost control was heading towards a wall then cut the wheel and end up doing 360s across 95 in front me and i was heading right in his direction. i was in the far left lane, i locked up the brakes slid across 95 and into a field... im so luck i didn't slam into this guy. and i didn't have a single dent on my car, im just wondering what the idiot was thinking..
mustang gt + wet roads = easy on the GAS!! |
you have some bad luck man, good thing nothing bad happend.
|
Yeah is it me or does the new edge just completely suck in rain, sleet, snow, or even sprinkles?
|

When I'm driving in the rain, I go at least 5 under the speed limit. If someone doesn't like it, they can go around. I'm not going through what I went through again and I don't want anyone else to, either. 03_GT, glad you're okay. :) |
My car is great in the rain, even on drag radials. I don't know WTF is wrong with you all.

front engine, short wheelbase, plenty of tq and rear drive combine to become killers for us. And it goes for just about any muscle car. Some have better traction control and active stability control than stangs but in general cars like ours are twitchy when it's slick out. That's just life. You must learn to respect how powerful the tool under your right foot is and use it, like you would a gun, when it's appropriate and safe.
Consider that people making 220rwhp complain about the snap oversteer and there are guys making 400-800hp that don't complain... probably the latter group usually understand what the right pedal is for. |
Well no in comparison to the s197 gt I drove on the highway in rain there was a huge difference, day and night.
