How are c63's in the rain?
 
How are c63's in the rain? All my vehicles have been rear wheel drive and 3 of them were supercharged rear wheel vehicles (one being a light back end lightning), so i'm no stranger to taking care in the rain. I'm just kind of curious to how they are. Seems like that's 75% of what we drive in, in Vancouver.

I wonder if I'd get more mileage out of the rear tires with all that rainy driving. :rolf:

With the proper tires, they are fine. Just make sure your ESP is turned on. lol

With my setup, awesome.

The electronic nannies on the car will keep the car on the road and make it as safe as a Range Rover supercharged but don't expect to be as fast :rolf:
I live in SW Florida and we get plenty of rain. The car is fine and great for regular driving but excessive throttle inputs will just lead to a yellow triangle on the dashboard.
Take ESP off and you can have some serious fun but you will not be winning any races.
If the rain is a big factor and you still want to be fast off the line, I would suggest an RS5 or GTR

Was raining the whole day here yesterday. I put roughly 300 km on the car running errands for the family. It was a mix of hwy driving and city driving. The C63 handled everything beautifully. It really is a solid DD.

fine, but watch out because if you dont monitor for tire wear and are out int the rain with bald tires shes a handful

I drive through rain almost daily it seems here in FL. Car handles great. I do have nearly new Michelin Super Sports on, which inspire lots of confidence. Having good tires is always key.

I hate the weather in Miami these days, it's raining eveyday. Tired of having my car washed 3 times a week

A handful if you are driving in a spirited fashion.
