I'm just a bolt on car and mine will do it with 17" drag radials on. The bad/ good thing is when it hits the power band 1st thru 3rd it breaks them loose also. This is on the street or the track.

thats not something to complain about, getting traction is actually a great thing...


I can easily light my tires up in first from a roll all the way through 3rd on a street tire.. but on my 315 DRs, the car just grips and goes

When its warm they wont break loose. I could be at 2000 rpms and punch it in first and it just goes. The goodyear F1 gs's have been good to me.

Even my 275/40/17 BFG drag radials spin a little in first. Street tires were ridiculous, they would spin really hard in first even in somewhat warmer weather.

All I have is a shitty *** chip and I sometimes catch a wheel when changing into either second or third(not sure which, my car is an automatic), I'll try to break it loose tomorrow and let you know.

I would be happy if i had full traction in first gear when i laid into it, the car would be much quicker.

do you guys break loose 1st at higher rpms if you gradually let the revs go up? or only when you nail it?

My Camaro would roast 'em in first if it was cooler out. I had 3.73's, 275/17" tires with UMI LCA's, Panhard and a 6 speed. When the tires were warm it'd barly chirp 'em and then when i hit 2nd it'd just chirp 'em. Now with my Vette it likes to hook and go Although when i get to about 4k RPM's and up it'll break 'em loose in 1st and when i hit 2nd it spin's 'em enough to kick on TCS. lol oh well it's off most of the times i get into the car. If i try to break them loose in 1st it will easily with the vette but who likes to waste $415/ tire Goodyear Runflats
