Normal? My in-car dyno(IE my ***) is not so well calibrated, so this may be a stupid question. I also have no access to another one of these cars.
I've got a bone stock 01 WS6, M6. From a dig, I can spin the tires through 3rd. This alone I find pretty good, for a stock car.
But a little more unussual is the fact that I can, from a second gear roll, slam it into third at approximately 75 MPH and bring the rear tires to a light smoking. Only inching out of the throttle replants the tires in a timely fashion, so its a lot more then a squeek.
Is that good for one of these cars?

Need sticky tires!'
Chirping/slightly spinning tires isn't the greatest test either. When all I had was a cat-back on my otherwise stock A4 I raced a lightly modded Mustang Cobra. It chirped the tires shifting into second and third...but still lost to me..and I could punch it from a dead stop and not spin.

You definately need stickier tires. My car has over 400rwhp and hooks so well that it doesnt chirp 3rd. The point of going fast is to put the power down effectively. If you are spinning you could be going faster with traction.
