Theres no chance of a decent launch in a GT in the wet at all. Will just sit there and spin up through the gears lol. :roll:

what a bunch of wimps, one thing to remember is that when its wet, its wet for everyone, when its dry its dry for everyone, if you've got the skill it will show in the wet, any monkey can do the quarter mile quick in the dry. see if you can pull off a good controlled start instead of just horsing your foot though the floor and actually winning because of your driving,not the cars power.

same with any sport,mountain biking,superbikes,formula one, the skill shines though in the wet,
you may even beat a faster car if you get the better start and they spin it. i'll show you gt's in the wet!

The whole point of going to this is to see what times i can get. Its pointless going in the wet because the times will be crap. It spins enough on the road with the slightest hint at a heavy right foot. When its chipped it just gets silly :twisted:

i go to these days to have a laugh and chill oot at the weekend and race up the quarter mile against people, if my car wins ,its a bonus, if i beat my personal best time then its a bonus, if i go along set in my mind i have to beat a certain time, then i end up going home disappointed if i dont and its a wasted day :? :P
