Not normal. Is it a A4 or M6? Are you using the brake to burnout? Definitely seems wrong, anything done to the PCM yet?

I couldn't get the tires to turn over, stuck hard to the street.

Best thing to do would be try that when your car is cold in the morning. If it still acts that way when cool you may have a tranny issue. If it works okay you may have just had the same problem I did. My car went out and ran in the low 12s a couple days later.

Good Luck!

If you are trying to burnout while holding the brakes it will be hard. If your car has abs then brake pressure is being applied to all four tires.
You should purchase a line lock to hold the front tires only and then you can light the back tires up at will.
