alright, which one?

I'm driving my fox errywhere. I've yet to have a problem with traction when I didn't want it to. You guys that seem to think that the mustangs are a death trap on anything other than perfectly dry roads need to buy a driver mod.

I think it has more to do with the fact that these are coming harder and harder to come by, especially in good shape. Go back 10 years ago and it wasn't a big deal to find quality parts or a replacement in equal condition, but now, that's not the case.

Drove the malibu about 60 miles on the freeway in a down pour with a spool and didn't have any problems. People say a spool is a death ticket in the rain. No issues.

The only issue was the lack of a defroster

I drove my cobra in the rain and in ice and snow

Good looking street car!

I am putting a daily fox together right now and then I am gonna park my 00 . They can be slipery but isn't that the reason we love them ? I did get sideways at 70 mph in my 86 vert coming home from the last cruise at the Dale but as is the case almost every time it was driver error . I shouldn't have been driving that fast on skinnies in rain that heavy . I drove foxes for years every day and I miss it and thats why I want to do it again .

Spools, tight corners, and rain are the suck!!


I will contend that the weight bias in a fox makes driving in the rain tricky. Just have to pay attention. Throw some 3.73's or more in the mix and it gets worse. Before the loop got redone here I had to stay off of it in the rain. If I had to come to a complete stop it was a fight to get going again. Just letting out the clutch resulted in tire spin at idle.

I had to drive home in the Capri on et streets (not the radials) from Haltom City to Saginaw in the rain one day and I will say I will never try it again . Slick tires , rain and a 5 speed 351 fox is not FTW !

My '12 is at HPP getting some love this week, so I'm daily driving the coupe this week. Rain, dr's and a 25 year old car, yee haw!

When I had DR's on my 04 GT, that had some miles on them, driving in rain was the total suck.. Especially with Nittos. Shit slid EVERYWHERE no matter how gentle on the gas, etc. Although, when my BFG DR's were new they performed better than my normal tires in the rain. You could hear the rubber sticking to the ground when pulling into the garage..

I don't miss daily driving foxbodies at all, even when they were relatively new.

Spools, tight corners, and and no power steering are the suck!!

.....

I remember my old 78 F150 that I added a mini-spool and removed all the accessories except the alternator/water pump.

this... i drove my vert everyday for about 10 years when it was new(er). now Im scared to leave the driveway with it even if its nice out.

[Rotortrash]

I personally dont have a problem driving a fox in the rain, with good tires. Mine gets driven almost daily, it gets hella better mieage than my truck. I just need a truck from time to time.

I am pretty careful though. Like was stated before, these cars arent as easy to find in good shape anymore.

[Clifton]

I see the car at least 3-4 times a month. I think he just got those wheels. He had drag lites on it before. Nice daily.
