Default S2k vs. Z4

Those who have driven both cars, which one handles better on wet road conditions so as to avoid becoming a member of the spin out club with street curb included?

And which year vehicle with or without traction control.

My guess is Z4 less spin prone.

I'm assuming Z4 has traction control, Z4's are less prone to spin-outs.

You shouldn't really let that keep you from buying either car.

The extra weight (plus some other things) make the Z4 the candidate for less spinning when in the same situation as a S2000. The Z4 will still spin, and depending on which year/motor Z4 you'll have more torque than a S2000 - something that can get you in a spin-out situation very easily.

Why do you ask?

Keep in mind a lot of what you are talking about also heavily depends on the nut behind the wheel.
