Check my signature for info on my car. It says I have auburn posi. I do, but it's not installed yet. So my rear is OPEN.

The roads here are dry.
I went through a puddle while exiting Red Lobster . I drove down the road a little then gunned it in 2nd gear. My car started going no where while RPMs were rising. Was this because my tires were a little wet? Do I have to much hp for street tires to be doing this? Is it because of the open rear I have?

What can I do to prevent this?? Any suspension mods?
I really do not want to wreck my car again...

my dodge omni won't even hook up with wet tires. Well, it kinda does.

 

I don't expect to hook up with wet tires, that is not my goal since I rarely drive in bad weather. I was looking to improving it's performance (braking/handling/accelerating etc) on conditions like this. Not just wet roads. ANy surface

My goal here is a "safer" car. I know it starts with a safer driver (which I am) but there are plenty of morons on the road.

 

one really good but expensive way to get traction is an adj. torque arm like from steve spohn. stiff shocks, poly bushings, lcas etc will help but with a paxton on there how do you even hook up dry? yeah i'd say it was the little moisture left on the tires...

 

Put a set of traction bars on that puppy!! I would even recommend possibly getting the Action Lift Bars!!
