same setup here but stock pirellis still. mine likes to get sideways in sharp turns(mostly self inflicted). i get some slip off a launch. but it doesn't make a lot of power down low in rpm. i've taken off clean, then the tires have let go around 5-6000rpm when the power comes in. it is a VERY well behaved car. faster than it feels for sure.

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
Tires are a lot better than those made in the 90s, especially the summer high-performance tires. Of course, having 335 wide tires makes a difference too. :)

Yeah, a I agree. I put a Whipple on my '25 DH at just over 500 miles and added a Steeda Stop-the-Hop kit. I can spin in first, but the P Zeros hook hard with the the rear under control. Feather the throttle in first and then hammer down the rest of the way. Pulls like crazy...

I think y'all with whipples are full of it 😂. Sometimes I think it doesn't spin. Then I hold down the TC button to turn off TC and DSC and floor it and the tires always let go. 325 wide PS4S and 305 wide RE71RS 🤷‍♂️

Oh, mine spins, but the Steeda Stop-the-Hop kit really helps once I'm in second on up.

That's surprising. I'm not a burnout guy, but I was reminded just last night exactly what it is I'm driving (GT PP 301A Manual, Sport Mode, TC on). I was stuck at a light and made a quick maneuver into the next lane and floored it. I launched fine, but then started to get squirrley maybe 50 metres up the road (still in 1st gear) as the back end came loose. I had to let off the throttle before I become one of "those" Mustang guys LOL.
