still not buying traction issues on an ss. now jeff(from what i heard) HAS had traction issues on that track before but other than that sounds like normal stuff to me. greg i never thought about the whole front tires gets wet then lays water for the back tires deal ur right. awd is an advantage to a point but as stated above(and previously by me as well) it may hurt u more than it helps u because u cant light them all up and get em nice and sticky.
