hmmmm......not real sure what kind of LSD is in the vettes. The F-bods have either the auburns with clutches or torsens with gears. The clutches wear out on the auburns and the factory torsens have a really low torque bias.
I'm guessing the vettes have the torsen in which case you had a greater difference in traction between the two tires than the factory torsen diff could overcome. Hence the 1 wheel peel.
My factory torsen would do it also on a really hard launch. Detroit trutrac fixed that though!

You may have had one tire in the groove and one out of the groove. Or maybe one tire was in a little water. You may already know this, but if you're on street tires you want to avoid the water box like the plague. The treaded tires will hold water that will drip out under your tires while you are staging causing a large traction difference between the 2 tires.
The factory diffs just can't overcome a large difference in traction between the two tires. If you had a spool, your launch may have ended you up into the wall!

Still a treaded tire. I would still not drive THROUGH the water box. Maybe back up into the wet area If you have a problem getting them spinning dry but not into the standing water.
