I'm sure there are a few factors that cause this. If you're running on bald tires, or summer/performance tires, that's gonna hurt your traction. I made the mistake of driving on the stock RE050As for the first half of winter when I bought my MS6, and that was scary.
If you're going into each light and jumping on the throttle, back off. Light throttle, 2nd gear (if you're driving a manual) will help to get you off the line. Traction control will let you slip a little before cutting throttle, so you should be able to start moving before that happens.
Going back to the first comment, tires make a huge difference. Throw a set of winter tires on the car and watch it devour snow and give you much more assurance on ice.
Not to be rude, but coming in here and making a bias claim like your first post, you won't get much sympathy or advice.
