If you had not warmed up your tires, they have no traction on the cool and wet pavement. How many miles/km's do you have on the tires. 8000 miles seems to be when many owners have traction problems.

If your driving style is anything like your writing style I can see why you spun.

Glad you're ok.

Sounds like a loose nut behind the wheel may be the problem

It's your driving style. As soon as you go from first to 2nd, the minute you lift to shift and then punch again to accelerate all that 7000rpm + get transfer to the rear wheel, it walks out on you. This happened to me before, I managed to catch the car before it swung around. This is a result of lacking traction control.

This is not a front wheel drive car, and most importantly not an AWD - you simply do not go hard at it in the wet. If you shift around 7000rpm in the wet u should be ok. But pushing it all the way is gonna make u face the other direction
