Hydroplaning

[Auto-9]

All I know is my dad prefers driving FWD to RWD in snow and ice, as do I...my one experience alone scares me to death with RWD

[pinoyesv6]

actaully i do agree with dave about rwd in the snow. i mean yea if you are used to fwd it can be a lil bit harder to drive but if you think about it hard, it could be better. i learned this first hand while driving on water ice, wet leaves snow etc. for example, lets say i lost the front end of my rwd car ok yea i lost total steering control but i still do have my drive wheels in the rear to bring me to safety if lets say i put myself in a bad situation. now if i were to lose my front end on a fwd car, not only do i lose my steering but also my drive wheels.

anyways, its so much funner with rwd u can do funner things like spinning the car easier and other wreckless things like that u do in an empty parking garage

Actually, IMO I prefer FWD in wet and snow. It's true that if you have a RWD, you divide up the task of steering and drive wheels but I feel you don't buy anything by this. In fact, when you combine the two in a FWD, you also gain something, the ability to pull the car. You can now accellerate or floor it depending how much pull you need to correct the situation; something you cannot do with a RWD. Just like in that James Bond movie where he was in a FWD car and the car was cut in half but he can just keep going. Both has it's pro's and con's but in wet or snow, FWD has it's advantages.

My Galant started to hydroplane in the fast lane on I95 on a sunny day and I was only doing 93mph I took it to Firestone and they put somekind of weights on my tires or something but since then I haven't had a problem :oops: :twisted:

ill tell you the problem i had the same thing happen its all in the alignment cuz a soon as i took it and had it aligned it stoped hydroplaning cuz when you car gets lowerd it has a problem wit the tires facing each other ><not that much though
