Message	Hey Guys, I drove my NA Z this weekend. It was drizzling and I got onto the freeway. Getting around the curve and about to merge, I lightly stepped on the gas. The rear end slipped to the right. I countersteared to the right. It slipped to the left and I counter steared to the left, let off the gas and the car spun 360 degrees counter clockwise around. I didn't hit anything, but I was slidding down the freeway at about 50 mph spinning. Do you guys think it was over compensation of the counter steer that caused the spin? What would you guys do in the wet conditions if the rear got loose.
