My last car was a RB20 skyline with a 2540 turbo.. That equals a very small power band around 5-7500. Which means the boost DUMPS on you..
I drove the car in the rain for two years and never had a problem. I've driven in winter here for 4 years and never had a freak accident in a "straight line"...
Im sorry for the incident.. But i wish people would take ownership of some of these things.. Its always the cars fault.. Or the conditions..

I can tell you though that where i currently live. Edmonton. Has the worste roads of any place in the world i've been. Due to the cold weather and the MASS amounts of trucks, most of the roads here have massive grooves (big enough that you can high center a lowered car). So im no stranger to less than perfect roads..
I don't think it's the fact that the road was crappy but more so the rain. We aren't used to such a long period without rain so when it does finally come we aren't used to the conditions from all the oil and grime.
I try not to drive during the first rain after a really long time without any.
