TCS probably caused more close-calls than it avoided for me. However the VDC has saved my hide in the rain on an occasion or two.

Sory to see those rimz F'ed up. I will say this though. I had my Z t-boned by a suburban about 6 months back, mangled the entire front suspension, I never thought the car would track right again. But to my suprise the body shop fixed it up perfectly, and insurance covered it all, so it should all turn out fine for you in the end.

Remember...the first 30min of rain is the most slippery...think about it this way, all the gunk and oil that people spill everyday driving is just starting to run off the road, that's when it's the most slippery.

Nothing crazy..if the ground wasn't wet it would be just normal quick turn.

Damn if that happened to an Enthusiast model WITH TCS ON then this winter is going to be really SLOW for me and my base...
...hopefully my new rear tires will hold up!

Well as of now my car is at Colonial Coach Works in Chatsworth street.
I will go first thing in the morning tomorrow since they're closed.
I've had my scratched rear panel repainted there before and they did a great job.

TCS won't help you if your tires can't make contact with the pavement.....

Side note: Sucks about the wreck. Hopefully you won't get it from the ins. company. Were you cited for anything at the accident site?

I drove w/ nittos on my GT here in FL for 2 years and never once had a wet weather issue, thankfully. Plan to get them for my Z.
