My car is stock with the exception of an SLP lid. It is an A4 w/ the GU5 option. I have Michelin Pilot Sports with about 3500Miles on them. When I left the tree it bit okay, but at the top of first it began to spin and quickly got BAD loose. It fishtaled to the left first then right. I had to abort the run.

My 2000 SS M6 would spin them through 1st and 2nd gear. This was with new Yokohama AVS ES100's. I had a lid and exhaust. It was an awesome sensation with the back end swinging right and left at 45-50 MPH. I would just roll into WOT in 1st, quick shift into 2nd (not powershift) and they would just keep on spinning. Maybe the tires sucked, I don't know. I know my car wasn't a freak or anything. Now with my stalled A4, I don't know what traction is.

My car wouldn't that on my BFG KDs until I was making 419 rwhp but my brother's near stock WS6 would not have much trouble lighting up the stock F1s in first gear.
