A bad Spin-out, 93 3000gt base model, Watch out!

I just spinned so bad today with my 3000gt base model. I don't know how it really happened, but it's hard to believe that a front wheel drive car can spin so easily. But I'm sure I know why my car spinned so bad, it's probably because my back tires are almost gone, and I was trying to accelerate at the turn, with my steering wheel turned too much. It was a right curve, there were 3 lanes, I was on the very left lane. As I entered the turn, I accelerated while I was turning, then suddenly I lost control, and my car went sideway to the right. So I counter-steered immediately to the left, but my car spinned to the left side. Then the front passenger side bumper hit the wall in the middle, then the back passenger side bumper hit it, and my right side exhaust tips went in and hit the control arm. I felt so stupid, because I didn't expect 3000gt Front wheel drive model would spin so bad. Because I had a mirage before, it's dropped, with 16s, and I could turn at least 2 times faster than how I turned today with my 3000gt. And the mirage never spins. I think the main reason that my 3000gt spins so bad is because my tires got no grip, which I didn't realize, and this car is heavier than the other cars I drove. So just want to let you all know, be real careful when your tires are bad, it can be deadly. I was so lucky becuase there is a wall between the 2 sides of the rode, so I didn't go on the other side.
