Default Couple Questions.

Hey guys im coming from the 240 crowd, had a '98 240, it had megan racing coils and I loved it.

So, I was wandering. How bad are SC's in the rain, my current truck loves to get the back end out, Im not really into that, even tho it is predictable, still, can be fun at times.
Also, what kind of gas milage do you get on SC's. With the V6.

hmm, imho...The SC is like any well behaved rear wheel drive car without traction control. Trouble in the rain is typically attributable some combination of running summer tires in the wet, running wider than oem or worn tires.

"Bad?" Not something normally associated with the SC in any area.

I just turn off the ECT button and drive like an old lady in the rain. You might be going a little slower, but I rather have that than to hit some guard rails like some CL members have!

ECT doesn't add any power, you won't go any slower with it on or off.

no, but it does make the trans upshift and downshift harder which could attribute to a loss of control... but that's kinda far fetched...
