Mine does that too. I don't mind.
My favorite part is turning through an intersection at moderate-to-agressive throttle and getting a little sideways with a simple upshift. Woo-Hoo!
Lets see a stock ricer do THAT!

A bone stock GT A4 might spin the tires from a dead stop on a good night...in a puddle.

My daughters '98 A4 has 3.23's with a lid and a Flowmaster, and a 160 thermostat. It shifts very firmly into 2nd, and easily gets rubber. Is it rare? It's got 80k easy miles on it, and runs extremely well for what it is.

Before the shift kit and tune with BFG KDW tires I never had the car sqwack the tires with a 1 to 2 shift. After the shift kit it was all I could do to keep from sqwacking the tires. Now with a tune and the shift kit adjusted with my Pirellis I never sqauck them unless I am starting to get into the throttle.
FWIW - I put some Nitto 550 on some old Firebird 16 x 8 rims and those sqwacked all the time without a shift kit but they also had terrible traction compared to my BFG KDW or Pirellis on 17 x 9 (9.5).

Mine would stock most of the time. With my current mods it doesn't chirp much, it actually rolls them over a little and the *** kicks out a little. Darn the badluck, lol.

I can get my slow *** v6 to chirp 1-2, and if it's a bit humid I can get a 2-3 chirp.

when I had the original tires on here they would chirp 1-2 and could spin a whole bunch from a stop, but they were basically bald, the new BFG KDW's it's hard to make them spin from a stop on dry pavement unless I hold the brake alittle...
