Thanks for the advice, will take a look into it.

Basically you floored it on a wet road with summer tires in a 400HP vehicle. Tires will break loose every single time. With practice yes you could easily steer it back but, be safe and don't try that again. Congrats on the ride.

Wet roads and a car with 400+ don't always mix well when putting your lead foot to use....

When this happens no amount of Traction Control is going to do a damn thing because there is no traction.

So it's a case of: Unexperienced driver + high HP + RWD, + hydroplaning = embarrassment

This. When there's no traction, there's no traction.
