Lightnings have limited slips.  If the surface is slippery all the way across nothing is going to get you traction.  How deep did they back into the water?

Not one to de-rail a thread, we were discussing Lockers, Limited slips and slippery boat ramps.

I thought you guys would get a chuckle out of seeing a Ford Lightning at the bottom of Biscayne Bay. (afterall, this is a Chevy Forum, right?)
