Default Don't boost in the rain!!

This one of the reasons why I try not to drive my car when it's raining! Even though you might be cruising, the second you hit it for whatever reason, it could be lights out!

Well it was kinda his fault, why would he get into boost when he's on wet roads? He thought he was driving that MS3? I feel sorry for the car lol.

Wow. That guys lucky he didnt take out the car next to him. Nothing like tearing up your car and still having to pay for someone elses as well.

He was asking for it. I did something like that when I was stupid many years ago with my 150hp S14.

I read the thread on this vid on SF.....the owner was driving on very low thread tires,he claims he barely got into boost which is possible.You can crash a rear wheel drive car very easy even at low speeds with out getting on the throttle(I know from experience) I crashed a stock SC like this.....Tire thread and diff setup plays a big role also to a certain point.I had a 470whp SC300 with real good tires(Top Secret) and a TRD LSD(best investment you can make on a SC) I would sometimes take it out on a open wet road with no traffic, give it more then half throttle under boost and the car would always stay planted drive straight every time.

Im sure Drewgo can vouch on this.
