Does it take this many replies to express the fact that when it's raining your not going to be able to handle your car the same way as when it's dry?
Reality Check: Water on driving surfaces decreases traction dramatically.
My other car is a Zamboni!!

hey man all u need is to be soft on the gas pedal dnt floor it hard do it smoothly+ shift gears early at like 5000 r.p.m since at high r.p.ms u will get max hp on ur wheels which will upset the car in wet conditions therefore it will be harder to control and take off vdc
p.s if u want to drive hard in wet conditions u have to install wet tires only

I guess I'm missing something on this one. The Z has enough power to spin them up under hard acceleration even on dry pavement (depending on the surface) once it really gets into the torque band. That just becomes easier when the same pavement is wet.
Wet=less traction. Solution - smoother and/or less throttle input.
