No ****, don't drive like a tard and you shouldn't have any problems. I've got caught out in the rain in my Dad's 632rwhp 03 Cobra a couple times. It's no different than any other car if you drive normal. Unless you have drag radials, that's a whole different story.

Yeah I drove my dads Silver 9 Second 6.0L 6spd 832RWHP Twin Turbo GTO in the rain with no probs!
We need a Smilie with a "Sarcasm" sign!

Just figured since everyone was talking about their "Daddies" cars, I would throw one in there.

I don't drive my dads car, but he wishes he could drive mine! Haha! lol!

Aren't you the same guy that "blows the tires off at 40mph" with a near stock Z? <<sarcasm sign for you. I wasn't bragging, just stating facts.

You can go with the original Camaro size that came on everything past 1986 on the Irocs. 16X8 will definitely take a 245/50R16 which will provide a wider footprint with the same height of tire.

The tire shop that sold you these were trying to make a sale of what they had in stock. They are complete F***tards and you should not ask them for any advice on tires again. I have been working at an automotive shop here in California for over 6 years now and have done just about everything. Atop of that, I have personal experience of which tire handles and performs vs another due to my autocross days. Now I mainly sell parts and tires to customers so my knowledge is pretty sharp about these things. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and Swimmerboy2112 gave you an excellent reference guide to chose different sizes to make your vehicle handle the way YOU want it to.

Lol! I knew someone would not have the sense of humor to handle that! I was just joking around dude! Loosen up a little!
And yes, my LS1 Z28 with exhaust, Mass Air, and my lead foot will leave bacon strips at 40MPH! It's called a clutch dump! I have done it many times next to mustangs and ricers that think they can hang with me. Usually after they see the *** kick out at that speed they leave me alone!
And I wasn't saying that you were bragging! I just thought the "daddies" car part of it was funny! Not trying to be offensive just trying to have a laugh!
I do have a serious question though! How much HP is your 94 putting down? Have you run it down a track yet?

When you get a V8, you are instantly 12x more manly and gain new driving abilities that are otherwise limited to the V6 driver; that's how we handle it...
