Mine does the same thing....I have good tires too.
You don't go anywhere if you're spinning.

Yeah my car went 13.2 at 108 at its best when stock and 90 percent of the time it wouldn't break the tires loose from that low of a roll. If it was cold out and there wasn't alot of heat in the tires it would do it though. It typically takes RPMs for these to blow the tires away. If you really wanna blow the tires from a low speed roll, go get 4.10s installed. Sweet Jesus, you NEVER hook from a first gear roll. Anyways, I'm sure your car runs fine.

Younggun... Initially I thought I had the same issue. I had a hell of a time breaking the tires loose. I could dump the clutch at 2500rpms, and roll into the gas and hear nothing but chirp... and the car would tear out like a bat out of hell. I didn't really wanna try it any higher of an RPM... I'll save my clutch.... even stabbing it in a slow roll I would have nothing but traction. It worried me.
Then I raced my buddy's 300AWHP STi and beat him from a roll and a dig, and I no longer questioned the car. Remember..... traction is a blessing not a curse.
You must have excellent tires, and your suspension is doing it's job of ensuring the power makes it to the ground.

I notice the guys with autos keep commenting on how if they stomp it and it down shifts to first the tires break loose...well that would be expected, being If I was driving at 20 mph in 2nd (with my M6), dropped it to first and reved it up to 4000 rpm then dumped the clutch my car would go insane too. comparing autos to manuals in the situation I am having is a whole different story IMO, which some others have commented on as well. (torque converter slippage, etc..)

Mine break loose as the RPM's come up, I can keep them spinning through 2nd, then chirp them into third. This is when it's cool out. I can always spin them in first no matter what the temp. or surface, but only in the upper revs.
