Default Rain, corner & VTEC

A couple of weekends ago I was going round a corner whilst VTECing in the wet and nothing went wrong.

My passenger reckons we did a 360 degree spin but I'm not convinced.

Is there something wrong with my car?

Should I get my dealer to look at it for me?

I'm a bit concerned as it is now out of warranty

You mean you deliberately did a 360 degree spin?

Why do people say not to vtec in the wet? Surely it's fine if you can manage to gradually increase the power, rather than mashing the pedal to the floor?

You bloody hooligan.

Motorbikes are dangerous and fast cars are dangerous and it shouldn't be allowed (mostly because those who aren't getting it are driven to jealous rage) and VTEC is the devil's camshafts and you should all spend Sunday in church and not thinking about oversteer & smut and begging forgiveness and saying three hail hitlers, sorry, marys and not giving in to temptation of the demon drink.
