well i have been driving alll day in this rain, i did 98 miles 2day. manhattan to the bronx to queens to new rochelle to white plains and back. this car handles better than any car i have ever driven in the rain. i am sure a lot of this is due to the dunlop 9000s, but even the way the trac/antiloc works is incredible. i am VERY impressed! i was even kinda tried and tested that stuff out, and it works great.!! very reassuring. the car barely hydroplaned, and was very stable, and not once did i fell the O sh@t feeling that i used to get with some of my other cars, as long as you are easy on the gas. 05 mustang OWNS!
