I've hydroplaned in the Z in the OEM tires as I was braking for a yield sign. The tires were bald, which in conjunction with the rain is why I was driving it instead of my wife at the time (new tires ordered but not yet arrived). The left turn light turned green as I was approaching, so I had to yield to them and pressed the brake a bit too hard and the rear let loose. The first car was probably a little freaked cause the car went pretty sideways since I had already started around the curve, but I corrected, recovered, and stopped well before the lanes converged.
