VLSD will not do anything significant as far as helping you not spin in your situation but I would suggest getting it for plenty of other reason... a true LSD is even better but not necessary.. Summer tires just dont like the cold weather , thats all.. 60 isnt really all that cold but still that wouldnt happen in 70+ degrees.

I still wonder about the Z/its tires. I was riding in my friend's 370 and when he floored it in 2nd at about 4500rpm (I forget our speed), the low-trac light or whatever it says came on. The car had broken loose in 2nd on a punch (not a shift).
Are the Z's spring-rates VERY aggressive? Are the tires just not that sticky? I remember my WS6 being able to floor it in 1st at 4000rpm or whatever and it just hooking and going. It had the same width tires (275s) as a Z, and a much more archaic suspension and a ton more torque.
I am curious why Z's seem to be traction-limited in a straight line, I would think with the 275's out back and nearly 50/50 weight dist. they would just hook like crazy.
