I can easily do it now, when i was bolt on's I didn't have a problem either.

Turn your traction control off. JK. you have enough power to roast them for a bit.

People tell me theres something wrong with my car, its quite embarrassing as well, haha. Only way she will spin tires is if i pop the clutch a bit. Cripe my 200hp SHO 4door sedan spun the tires easier than this car, odd.

Spinning tires is not a way to measure power, so don't worry about it. Take it to the track or dyno and see what she does.

If you are making the power that is in your sig. you should be able to do it easily. I have an A4 and could do it easily from a 20 roll when my car was completely stock.

Finally, the voice of reason. I want a car with 500 rwhp that will launch on wet grass without spinning.

My old tires never had grip.
My new tires still spin, but not as much.

I agree with the retarded thread and wrong section comments.....But I'm gonna post ne ways.
It all has to do with suspension, and even more so tires. My car in practically stock form never had any problem spinning the tires from a 20 mph roll-but they are POS tires. With a set of bfg street slicks it's a different story

I have 4.11s and I cant spin the tires from a rolling start, no way no how. I'm mostly stock too, just a lid and cutout. Then again I do have box LCAs, adjustable torque arm, panhard bar, koni shocks, dms springs, nitto drag radials, blah blah blah. It amazes me when people say they roast them shifting to 2nd with stock power. I couldn't even do that with street tires. All I can think of is bad suspension?

I could break loose in second going 20 just punching it in cold weather with my Goodyear supercar's. I've gotten sideways doing 70 downshifting to 4th with those tires and stock.

I can't, but I think the Goodyear GS-D3's have a lot to do with it, that and hot pavement. Goes like a banchee though
