Default burn rubber

98 Z A4 auto, does not spin tires on WOT start!! I can apply a little brake pressure and hit throttle 1/4 of the way and it will spin tires. When I get on it from a dead stop, I want it to come alive. Not slowly ease the power to the tires. Any suggestions?

Well...the switch on the dash, I believe it is ASR (?), is off. There is a light on my instrumetn cluster that lights up "traction low". To the best of my knowledge, traction control is off.

Made sure traction control was off, no light on dash. Still no spinning. Car has more than enough power. I bought it used and I'm wondering if maybe there has been a torque converter change or if there is a torque setting on the PCM that is causing this.......any thought?

Sounds like someone has done the notorious ecotec 4cyl swap in your camaro, I'd call the guy you bought it from and tell him you want your ls1! HAHA

When You Press The Asr Button The Dash Will Light Up And Say (asr Off).if Not Then The Switch Might Be Broken

My car when I had good tread on my stock F1's wouldn't really light the tires up, hell even now it won't just completly leave a smoke cloud, but hey the car produced good track times, so i'm good with that.
