It's not the car...it's usually the inexperienced RWD drivers...

you didnt read my words i said hydroplanes i have only owned rwd cars without DSC and TC so its not the oversteer that scares me it is hitting a puddle in 2800lbs on 215/45 garbage tires

In general all RWD vehicles hydroplane the same...they fishtail at high speeds. The MR-S I had absolutely LOVED doing this on city roads with rain puddles (It had crappy summers on too).

If you have experience with these RWD vehicles, you will know its limits and how far you should be only pushing them in these bad surface conditions.

i wouldn't really call the michelin primacy HP tires garbage... are they appropriate for the FR-S? no... are they garbage? no... those tires would rock on a matrix or prius...

Lol nothing to do with pushing limits or drive wheels hydroplaning is when a layer of water gets trapped between the road surface and your tires, nothing to do with pushing limits , I don't care about your past cars I'm saying this car hydroplanes because it is light

Sounded like someone was definitely pushing the car's limit over the edge which resulted with the accident as you described earlier...

Trust me, I know what hydroplaning is; the MR-S is 400 pounds lighter than the FR-S... you tell me what hydroplaning is with a light car...

Black FR-S this morning in New West, headed towards the Queensborough clusterfuck. I turned around when I saw the SWAT truck/tank thing heading to the bridge up the oncoming traffic way...
