I have and 02 GS300 and have experienced the same exact problem. I have many years driving a RWD car and have never had this problem before. I currently have brand new tires (Goodyear Invicta GA's that came with the car) on the car and it's like I'm driving with bald tires. As soon as I excelerate from a stop when the road is snowy or icy, the VSC takes over and the car stops. I can hear the brake pedal clicking when this happens. The only way around this is to turn off the VSC. Once I start moving I turn it back on for the protection it's supposed to give. Lexus really screwed up on this one since I've had times when I've tried to enter a main road from a store parking lot and found myself in the way of oncoming traffic and my car wouldn't move after slight pulling out onto the road. This VSC feature creates a more dangerous situation than the one that it is trying to prevent. There should be a way to fine tune the sensitivity of the system, especially when the car has been at a stop prior to it engaging
