Cool Who drives it in the rain?

I know that we all get caught now and then in the rain.

But who intendedly leaves knowing they are heading into a storm .

My SRT stays warm and dry in showroom condition! No driving in the rain or snow.

I drive mine rain or shine. It gives me an excuse to wash it. But I try to drive mostly in fair weather.

It rains all the time here near the FL panhandle so yeah I drive in the rain often. Have yet to have a handling problem of any sort, plus I it helps wash the bugs off, so.... hooray rain?

*EDIT: Just had to drive through a monsoon the other day on the highway, the kinda rain that makes you wish there was an extra-high setting for the wipers. Caught a little bit of water under the tires periodically at highway speeds, but the Challenger took it well and didn't feel unsafe at any point.

I've got the R/T 6-speed with track pack and I can tell you driving in the rain takes a lot of patience. You have to be real easy on the throttle and ease into it or you will break the tires loose. No spirited drives in the wet for sure.

AND, the optional F-1 Supercar tires do not like wet conditions......you need to use extra care if so equiped.....

I took mine out for the first time in the rain last evening. Of course, since I bought the car last year, we'd been in a drought.
