Thinking of new F-body mod...

Anyone install paddle wheels for rear wheels on an F-body? What else do I need to modify in order to drive my 97 TA in all of this rain and flooded roads? I know I'll have to pipe the CAI straight up out of the hood so as not to suck water, along with pulling the dual-dual tail pipes straight up the back end with those truck "flappers" on the end.
This constant rain sucks....

Doesn't all the Zanio repell water. Your could drive thru a 10' deep puddle. Just like Moses crossing the Red Sea.

Ron, if you've applied enough Zaino, as I have, get a running start at any "ponding" water, and hit it full speed. You'll skip across the surface just like when you were a kid skipping rocks on water.

Hmmm... you guys are probably correct there, but I'm thinking that I might have to put a solenoid hook up to the air dam so that I can retract it otherwise it would be a water brake with dire results.

Hey Ed, that sounds like a Evil Knevil stunt... I'll meet you up at Stockton because we can get a good run down the mountain....
