thought my Vette was designed to fly low.
Facts speak about physics, not rumors.
The CC system in your car will only accelerate until the speedometer reads the current set speed. Yes the tires will spin if they loose contact with the road. The vehicle will slow down as the drive wheels continue to maintain the desired speed. When the tires regain grip with the road the tires will slow down, and the CC will apply more throttle to bring the vehicle back up to the desired speed, causing the vehicle to lunge forward. If the roads are very slippery the lunge (when the tires get grip back) can cause the vehicle to slide (FWD) or spin (RWD) out of control.
The highest altitude that a vehicle will gain while hydroplaning is about 1/16th inches below the surface of the water. The actual depth of water required to hydroplane varies based on the vehicle speed, weight, tire tread pattern and tread depth, and water temperature. The colder the water, the more dense it will be making the hydroplaning depth more shallow than in warmer temperatures.
At any rate, drive safe when the roads get nasty. You friends, family, and insurance rates will appreciate you for it.
