Message Rain in general will not do anything. If is a very hard and strog storm and is rainign like crazy, you might get lots of humidity in the intake... but still less than Water Injection I would think.
Maybe on the turbo Zs, boosting a lot, you might get more humidity sucked in by the turbos, but I doubt you will get liquid water into the intake at engine level, and if you do, it would be very little, I don't think it would be enough to hydrolock the engine.

Now, if you get lots on water on the streets, and you have to drive through "lakes", then be careful, hydrolock is just one step away from you. If the water reaches the intake level, then don't even think about going thought that water, and if you have to, make sure you just go slow, not steping on the gas, cause you will suck water into the intake.

And be careful of other cars going next to you, cause theymight create waves and then water level will increase even more, and it just take one "gulp" and you get a hydrolocked engine in a second.

Thanks
Danny
