Anyone elses dark horse not spin tires

[614DarkHorse]

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?

im not complaining at all i rather hook and go. Just my last N/A V8 was in High school and i had a 92 z28 and a 90 mustang gt. Im in sport mode and i have the 6 speed manual

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.

ya that was my guess, 335 is a pretty damn wide tire to break loose

 

[D/\rK•650]

Its probably the wider rears. But one would think they'd break loose at least a bit. Must hook like mad.

 

[614DarkHorse]

not gonna lie , it goes pretty hard , was just used to muscle cars spinning tires . but they never had really wide tires

Mine spins up nicely in drag mode, just enough to keep from bogging, spins a little into 2nd, and chirps into 3rd.
I can't ask for better really.

Well, I have 325s out back and a lot of mods to stop wheel hop and grip. So yes, I squat and go. HARD. It can surprise you how hard I can come out of a turn.

But that's what I set it up for! Tremec btw.

I’m amazed how well the DH chassis keeps this car stuck to the ground.
I’m manual with flex tune, I drive in sport mode, with throttle controller and I turn off advanced track .
My 305 wide Continental ECS 02’s stick like glue when taking off or gas in the corners.
They will chirp though 3rd but I need to pop the clutch to do a burn out.
