Default car spun out, now in shop...veering to right.

Had my car towed to the dealer today cause it feels like my rear wheels are constantly hydroplaning. Anyone know what is causing this? I spun out while taking a left turn but didn't hit anything. Started the car back up again and noticed this hydroplaning effect. Pulled over and checked wheels/tires. Tires have 20,000 miles on them but still have pretty good tread and it didn't look like there was oil on them or anything. Drove again for a few miles and while driving car starts to feel like rear is loosing traction. Help! I think it should be covered by warranty but I have no idea what problem is.

incorrect weight distribution... rear is lighter than the front? it's probably most common for s2k... lightweight exhaust w/ supercharger. it throws off weight ratio.

Do you have any mods, what kind of tires etc might be helpful. Let us know what the dealership says. Good luck
