Sounds like the oil was put on the tires. LOL
Low oil level does not affect power, except when it goes low enough and the engine seizes, and then there is no power. Too much oil willlower power if the level is high enough for the crankshaft to touch the oil and create unwanted extra drag.

If you flowwed it and got your rear to be spinned around on "dry" pavement with a V-6, I would say that the road was frosted right where you sitted. And yes, I have experienced that too!

NICE.

i've experienced throwing a 3.8L camaro rear around on dry pavement, with the help of a jeep on the passenger side.

a 3.4L might need more like a tahoe or suburban to do it.
