Driving through water (Mach 1 specifics)

[murick]

While reading the owner's supplement for Mach 1 I noticed the section about driving through water:

Your vehicle has aerodynamic devices attached to the underbody designed to help control airflow for superior performance. Therefore, the driver must be especially careful to avoid driving through deep or standing water. If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, do not exceed 10 mph (16 km/h). Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the wheel rims. Water may enter through the air intake due to the vacuum generated in the engine. Your vehicle warranty does not cover damage caused by the intake of water into the engine.

What has caught my attention was the difference about the water level.
The owner's manual says:

Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the front rocker area of your vehicle.

The Mach 1 supplement says (as quoted above):

Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the wheel rims.

Which I read as the height of the tyres and significantly less than the "regular" Mustang.
Has someone already experienced clogging of Mach 1 coolers?

That's weird. Competition handled it better for sure. Guess that's because of missing shaker.

That Challenger has the Shaker Snorkel and internal water wings Package. It would have done better, but the driver didn't know how to Ford rivers.

Below a Corvette submarine returns to port after a clean sweep mission in the Pacific where it torpedoed an enemy Supra and shot down two 280Zeros.

Seems more likely than no higher than the rocker, but looks like I’ll slow down for big puddles.

Came upon this Jeep a few years ago out in Colorado….snorkel didn’t help.
