Message: <blockquote data-quote="astroboy" data-source="post: 390201" data-attributes="member: 4527">5cm?! No need 5cm la, any water level that's deep enough to submerge the water channel on your tyre surface is enough to provide your car the "lift".."..all 4 wheels are "n-sync" the DSC will not work.." .. that's what I thought. Aquaplane normally happen when the front wheels are lifted (on the straights). For RWD, the transaxle revolution on the rear wheel would be very unlikely to suffer aquaplane because the rear wheels are literally stepping on a "dry" track rolled over by the front wheel where water has been dispersed by the front wheel. As a result, even both front wheels are lifted during aquaplane, wheel revolution on all 4 wheels remain in sync, no steering change in direction despite the car is shooting an off tangent projectile caused by the aquaplane, DSC sensor won't notice this.On the other hand, FWD car once front wheels are lifted during aquaplane, it will spin faster (if gas pedal remain depressed) and driver will notice a sudden raise in RPM like car suddenly engage neutral and loss drive while a RWD can continue to power the car.. another situation where RWD is far more superior .. :wink: but FWD DSC would detect the non sync in wheel revolution during aquaplane as oppose to RWD.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
