Im just curious about this. Im coming from a 2015 Roush RS3 mustang and a 2017 Focus ST with a big turbo. Those cars will spin tires on command, but no matter what my dark horse doesnt, traction control off and all. it will chrip them going into 2nd and 3rd. But just taking off normally from a light then stomping the gas, it does not spin the tires at all just goes

So you bought a track focused car and are not happy that it just hooks and books? Isn't traction what most people want with their $65-$70K sports car when you aren't standing still?

I have not had anywhere close to the same experience. I guess maybe it depends upon how fast you are going when you stomp it.

What mode are you using when you do this?

Manual or A10?

We have the GT PP A10 and it has no problems cutting loose, intentionally or unintentionallly from dead stop. Best is in M and using paddle shifts.

I guess the fact when i bought it that it has 335s on the back is probly a decent factor

I have the A10, so I don't know what it is like driving the Tremec. My experience is the same as RLE55 (except I leave it in D, not M).

Thats a very wide pattern to be breaking loose. Especially with a manual.
