Loosing Tracktion When Wet!!!
ok first off i have an 06 base model z i love the damn thing but it seems that every time it rains and i drive the z i loose tracktion, and a dont mean when i take a hard turn. example: im driving down a STRAIGHT STREET and i whant to accelerate for whatever reason(passing a toyota prius or some slow car)the rear of the car starts to loose traction or fishtale some times even if i dont down shift ...i gess to make a long story short my question is how can i solve this? if i buy an LSD like the cusco will this help ...does any ones z does this?
p.s its not my tires... it did it when i had new tires and it does it now that i have some 285 sizes rears thanks in advance

i dint say it happens when i drive fast i think all of us have had the need to pass some one at one point or another .. in fact im a very good driver and in all the years ive been driving (11) i have NEVER not once been in an accident so no Nexx im not the problem i just thought that because i have a base model with no LSD that could be the problem thanks for the help anyway

Maybe you have directional tires and they are put on wrong or you rotated your wheels with out knowing about it.

Lack of a LSD has nothing to do with someone losing traction in the rain constantly and blaming it on the car.
The car has power. When it rains the road is more slippery. Ease off the accelerator. This is a driver issue.
Anyone who has to rely on a electronic stability system to keep them from going out of control on the road (save for maybe snow and/or ice) is a poor driver.
