Let me also say this - just because you have VDC - does not mean your car will never crash - you can most def kick the tail out w/ VDC on with some creative gas mashing
I think my problem is switching back and forth. Its easy to get used to being saved by the VDC - until the day you've got it switched off. I find that the Z can be quite stable with the rear stepping out. In this particular case, I should have recognized that the road conditions were very slick, and considered turning VDC on or just driving with extra care.
