Thanks, Sam! Yes, my entertainment quotient is directly proportional to my lack of integrity and imaginative vocabulary. Sort of like figuring out the hydroplaning speed of a tire....it’s that precise!

See you next year!

Cheers

Hydroplaning speed = 9 times the square root of the tire pressure. That is what they told me in the Air Force.

So if the tire pressure was 30 psi, the square root is 5.4. Multiply by 9 and you get 49.2 mph.

Shouldn't the depth of the water count as well?

Very cool. I done math stuff and it's only the second day of the year.

I should rest now.

LMFAO Steve. Take it easy with the calculations. I'm sure tread and water depth has something to do with it too. I saw a video with extreme hydroplaning where the tire actually spins in opposite direction vs direction of travel. That hurts the brain too.

Dave, do you have a close up photo of the dealer decal/badge on the tail panel? Is it a foil sticker? I had the original foil sticker from my Charger reproduced years ago. I think ECS Automotive did it for me back then but I imagine you can probably do it on your own printer at home nowadays.

I need to hurry up and sell my Firebird so I can buy a timeshare on your Cuda. ;-)
