This was my first run with the car in the rain and I was really pleased with how it handled. I met with some clients out in Valley Springs this morning (lots of sharp turns and hills with decent drops) The car handled great. Then on my way back to the office on the 205 in some serious down pour it was still solid. I kept thinking about this thread though on those country roads... i got zero skills on drifting but some of you would have had a blast on those roads.

Day and night from that ole SC400 in the rain...
