I don't drive my Z in the rain, or if it has rained. The reason is because I don't want all of that dirt and grime to get on the underbody of the car. Any one else do the same? My wife makes fun of me for doing this.

i hate driving in the rain more than anything, I can't go past 1/2 throttle until about 65 mph or so. ALthough Down here, trees throw yellow sticky pollen on your car, rain takes it off nicely if your paint is treated correctly, so a little spin around the apartment complex when its raining is fun.

I love driving in the rain!
makes me feel llike a Lemans race hero!! (j/k)
anyhow, the Z is great in the rain.
Rain driving is all about slow and deliberate inputs - nothing sudden - also - VDC is simply amazing when called to task.
BTW - not drive you r Z b/c it can get dirty??
Cmon dudes its a *car* - a $35K CAR and as such its "disposable".
Helll, I 2 years into my Z lease and frankly, I cant wait for my next car (next gen NSX, C6 vette)

I love driving in the rain. Turn off the VDC and its a low-speed drifting compitition! Of course we only get about 3 days of rain here in San Diego, so its not something I have to worry about much. My biggest concern is everyone else that freaks out when there is a tiny bit of moisture on the road. Its really scary when the first rain hits. The accidents on the freeway number in the hundreds. I just don't want to be one of them.
