With all the rain we have been having here in Seattle lately, it got me thinking about how low the air filter box is mounted on these cars. I started getting worried about the rain getting sucked right into the filter element.

Are all Coupes and Spyders like this? Or, is there a re-designed part Maserati has built that would keep water out? This is what mine currently looks like:

They must be designed to get wet considering how low they are mounted. Apparently high humidity (and cold) air actually gives you a few extra hp. I suppose we will find out here:

You actually should avoid deep puddles, because they can snorkel if you get into water that deep.

That is a a scary thought.... nothing like water in your intake to ruin your day....
