It just lost control, and next thing i remember i slammed the brake and try not to hit the wall. It all happened less than 1 second i think.

From the looks of the pictures, your tires look like they are close to being bald? If they are pretty worn down, then I can see how you spun your tires at WOT.

When I had about 16k on my old Michelin Pilot Sport tires, I experienced some slippage on the freeway in heavy rain. I was quite surprised because the threads still looked ok, but when I cruise in about 1/2" water there was definitely some hydroplaning going on. (Not even accelerating or decelerating) One time my coupe got sideways at nearly 90mph on the outside lane of the turn, it was scary as hell. I suppose these Pilot Sports are just not very good in the rain after some wear.
