Quite a lot actually! Laguna Seca, Thunderhill and maybe, but probably not Infineon. I know I have been well over 80MPH in the rain and likely over 90MPH at the first two, but I am not looking down at that point... That is why I wrote it that way. A good application of RainX does most of the work though at those speeds, except for spray from damn race cars without mud flaps.

And actually, the airfoil helps at significantly lower speeds as well. The STI has non-aero blades on it now, and they hop at speed in the wet. I did just find a refill for its stock blade with airfoil though. Last Lexor "D" blade I had lying around.
