I remember when the C5 was being tested, paging threw some GM info and seen photos of GM testing a C5 in much higher snow than that, it was 3 coupes of course with snow tires, apparently GM built these cars for all weather conditions. That photo made me go WOW, because up until that point, i didn’t know how far these "Tests" went, and apparently a c5 with snow tires does rather well or that’s what the report said.

Exactly if there was any saftey issue thier would be a disclamer not to drive it in those conditions.
Heck the owners manual shows you how to use second in an auto to get out of being stuck in mud etc..There is even a illistration of a vette in rainy muddy weather..
Took mine flyfishing this past weeekend, should have seen me driving it down dirt roads, parking next to 4x4s, pulling out my gear, and hitting the river. Made me want to make it a rally car.. Now that would be sweet,
I would love to mod it to run pikes peak one day, dirt the whole way!!!

It rained the final 5 miles....It's outside still wet.....what do I do???
Do I rinse it and dry it off...let it dry by itself??
So doe's this mean I won't be able to sell it later on down the road?? I won't be able to state "never driven in the rain".
