I do feel that the SC is quite a tail happy car, and like people already said easy off the throttle or it will snap back hard. My first car was RWD cressida, then I went through 4 rx-7's 2 non turbo and 2 turbo. This is only rain season in So Cal, not exactly HUGE storms but in the past few years quite a bit of rainfall. So my experience is not so bad in the rain, but I came from quite a few cars that made driving in the rain a little "fun". I was able to keep control of my SC everytime the tail decided it wanted to pass the nose.

EDIT: by the way tires make a HUGE difference and I speak from first hand expeience...trust me worn tires and crappy tires dont work well on this beautiful piece of machinary in the rain.

Why would LSD help?? With a Limited Slip Diferential, once 1 wheel begins to spin, power is transferred from that wheel to the wheel with more grip. On wet roads, this would result in both wheel spinning, effectively causing your rear-end to spin out fatser.
