RC - I believe what mc3744 is doing is simply giving it too much throttle in slick conditions.  Even the quickest traction control would slip the tires for a bit and then take away the gas/brake the correct corner etc.  Your suggestion to use less throttle makes the most sense.  Do not expect the car to save your bacon 100% of the time (or even 10%).  The Turbo must still be respected even in the dry.  Just because all the safety nets are on and working does not negate the laws of physics.
