Message from a dumb a$$, don't punch 600hp in the rain
Got caught in a storm last night....just rain up here (weird winter) anyway, I am at a stand still and turn the wheel and punch it to switch lanes...well, bout half throttle.... Forgot about that little LSD thing and a$$ end really kicked out on me. Sure scared the crap outta the guy in front of me. Luckily this thing weighs a ton so you let off and she got control real fast.
Needless to say, babied the crap outta of it all the way home, well almost all the way.
Straight line on wet roads, it actually was pretty impressive.....on side road in neighborhood, punched it see what she would do on wet roads and it wasn't bad. Really got to watch ESP do it's thing.....pretty cool to watch. It just brings throttle and brake down enough to get traction, wild to watch how fast it does it.
Love the beast and home safe and dry....now I gotta wash the crap outta of it.

We need a video! :p
Glad to hear you got home safe and sound.
What make/size rear tires are you running? I know you'll be able to break any tires loose, but i'm just curious.
