Just what I said... They tend to hydroplane in standing water or heavy rainfall. Just like any other vehicle only more so because the tires are wider and have no tread to speak of. No. At 50 or 70 kph you aren't going to kick out unless you're driving like an idiot. If there is a layer of water laying on the asphalt, I tend to slow down and pay attention when I drive through it... Unless it's a freakin big lake, 80kph should do it... Weather mode helps your car to not drive like an idiot but doesn't slow your speed down when driving through lakes... Nothing we can tell you will actually prepare you for your Vette... If you've owned performance cars you will be fine, if not, don't freak out over what you read. Just take your time and learn what your car will and won't do... It won't take long.
