It depends how much speed you take in with you, but yeah it's very possible... I almost lost it too in the rain 2 days ago, and I was making a SLIGHT left (not even a left turn, just following the road) at 30MPH, luckily there wasn't anyone around and I held it without killing me or the car |

j/k In all seriousness, I can drift decently. I have done so in this car (VDC off), and my fiance's C300 Sport (ESP off), along with many other cars I've owned. It's not hard to break traction in the Z, but to get it to spin out (rain/slush,sleet) would be a chore or very insane driving (discard black ice as part of the rule) with VDC on, IMO. Example: I was trying to get it to break all rear traction, at high speed, in a sharp turn. At 65mph, I went to get an opposite lock in a drift around a huge parking lot. The moment I dumped the clutch and spanked the e-brake, the car owned my arse - and I looked foolish to my fiance who I was trying to show off for.

like yourself i know how to drift(not sure how good i am at it though) but i only use it emergency situations where the rear is sliding so i can gain control of the car again and i agree for the most part that spinning out is hard on dry roads with vdc on but with wet roads, there is only so much the computer can do and if an inexperienced driver doesnt know how to control the car when the rear breaks lose and they panic and step on the gas some more, i can see them spinning out plus tires make a big difference as well, on an all season or winter tire i dont think someone will lose control in the rain but if you are like me and almost every socal resident, and dont run anything else but summer tires, you can lose control |

I know I'm not any expert at it. Prolly look goofy next to pros. I know I looked goofy in that parking lot that day with my lady. Full throttle...to no throttle, back to full and none again without peddle movement. Let's just say our necks where a little sore the next day.
