Impala SS Traction Issue - strange I have an 08 Impala SS - when I stomp the gas from a stop light it spins the front wheels a little bit then the traction control takes over and ruins the fun.
My question is - when I turn the traction control off and do the same thing I don't get a huge burn out. It spins a bit, then a bog, spins a bit, then a bog, etc. What the hell is that?
I'd appreciate any insight.

Without traction control if i'm going in a straight line and traction control off it will burn the wheels for 8/9 seconds almost all the way to 50mph. There was alot of stuff added into our cars to control torque steer as far as half shafts and other crap i can't remember these things are the reason why we don't do 1 wheel burnouts in straight lines like most fwd cars would do.

It happened once at the dragstrip on my old GXP and I dismissed it as a "bog" since I didn't know what it was. It happens just about every time I do an aggressive straight line hit from a stop with no tc on my SS.
Does Vector Motorsports tune remove it?
