The rear end wiggled a bit, the RPMs increased steadily and smoothly, but it felt like it wasn't hooking (but no tire squeal). They are brand new Pirelli all seasons.. and being focused on the road, didnt notice a flashing dash TC light, and it certainly didnt cut power abruptly.
My question is, are these "nannies" sophisticated enough to work this passively and smoothly? Could the active torque management be reeling her in in the background? or was I just really not hooking up (was also 30* out)?
The last true performance RWD I experienced was an 09 CTSV that truly put you in your place with the nannies cutting power/braking if you tried to drive it aggressively lol.

Yes, the stability control will rein in your throttle so that the wheels can connect without overpowering into uncontrolled oversteer. It is smooth using braking to the rear wheels independently if needed, affecting the electronic throttle, or cutting timing. Its amazing how it works on the track at different settings. It will save you from wrecking your car. If your tires had traction at the sudden full throttle application it would not have kicked in.
