Wouldn't it suck in water via the intake if the water is high enough regardless of if your foot is on or off the accelerator?

In most of the cases of water damage I've seen it's when they panic and back of to stop!
If it's that high and you still attempt to drive through it you deserve to blow your engine up :signIWS: :wink:

I think the logic in not slowing down is that it creates a bow wave and keeps the water away from your intake?
