I don't get it. the vsc should have worked if she was driving normally or even slightly faster than the limit, which is already very fast.

^ ever try to pull out into traffic aggressively with the electronics on? Might as well sign your death warrant. nothing worse than that kicking in at an inopportune time. Not saying that's the case here, but who knows.
Most accidents like these are not caused by recklessness, its lack of experience. Hydroplaning for instance. It's almost impossible for even the most experienced drivers to overcome the initial reaction to mash the brakes when they feel the car lose control. As we know this is the worst thing you can do, but there is a difference between knowing what to do, and being able to apply it when necessary. Experience is the only thing that will teach you that.

My father's SL55 AMG, with nannies on... try and get the back end loose and see if you have any luck. To me, that is a proper VSC system |

The VSC/traction control system on my dad's BMW is pretty good too-- you can definitely feel it working but it doesn't do anything too jarring to the car. It feels like it modulates the throttle rather than just cutting it like the BRZ and my old GTI seem to. That video of the guy driving in the rain was pretty funny though: *slips rear wheels while accelerating* "SICK DRIFT DUDE!!!" If that dude was on stock tyres, he's nuts going that quickly in the rain, straight line or not-- you'd rear-end anyone with real tyres on their car who decided to stop. Powersliding around some deserted, open corner is one thing: speeding down a crowded, wet roads with tyres that don't grip at all in the wet is another. |

I guess my experience with the vsc in the rain has been all positive.
in the dry, it does annoy me that it would kick in when the car is just doing its normal super controllable subtle slide |

^^ agreed. I spent some time with a f430 on track in both the rain and dry and it really does a great job.

This car should be in the Guinness book for attracting the most assholes. I've never seen so many internet "experts" hate a car so much.
