What kind of cars do you people drive where "feathering the gas pedal in heavy rain" is a necessity? My 90HP FWD car with very little weight on the front can still accelerate faster in rain without wheelspin than I'd ever need when driving normally.
- Reubachi 3y agoIt's not the wheelspin, it's the vague connectivity to the road. some FWD cars are more "Disconnected" from the back than others, all else equal. If I take a corner in the rain at speed in my 280hp FWD hot hatch, will be fine cuz the back is pretty easy to "feel." In a FWD ford taurus though that would be terrifying.
- bravetraveler 3y agoEven with fresh tires, my former Nissan Altima coupe would spin in the rain without feathering It's not by any means a fast car. Heavy, FWD, and four cylinders. Yet, it's a bit of an art to get up to speed well with it. I'm talking about the laughably slow 0-60 time (~7s) in the rain, especially on an incline! That's only around 175 HP... My 460 HP Mustang will easily spin when it's warm and dry; it doesn't take much. Most tires/surfaces aren't that good
- Klonoar 3y agoThis is far more of a thing for RWD cars than FWD cars, since you'll wind up spinning the car if you're an idiot about it.
