It's very easy for our RWD to spin out on wet road. I've lost count how many times TC light came on.

I bet you could count the number of people that have spun out (wet or dry) on this site on one hand. Driving like an idiot causes accidents, period. There are thousands of rear wheel drive vehicles on the road, and I don't see them all in ditches everytime it rains.

IMO, the key is leave the VSC and TC on. All high power RWD cars are lethal in the rain without electronic driver aides.

Agreed, streets are greasy and the first day of rain makes it almost like ice.
