Once you begin hydroplaning, there is nothing traction control can do to help you. Like glare ice, the tires have no traction and will not begin to spin again until your speed drops enough for the water film to be broken. With or without traction control, you would have ended upside down in a ditch. Camaro SS's, Mustang GT's, Corvettes, M3's, any car with wide performance tires is more apt to hydroplane than a normal sedan.
