Default Traction question

hey we just got it a few weeks ago and been running some of my buddy's ls1's and we cant figure out why my car will not spin from a dead stop. They dont like it cause i get half a lenght on them.Traction controll is off but from a dead stop it will not spin unless iam going around a corner and hit it it will break loose..straight line though it just hunkers down and goes..everything looks stock under the car..has anybody ever seen this with other camaros because i havnt..No iam not complaining just curious

what size tires does it have? that could help with traction...mine spun till i had to get a new rear end that has 3.23 gears in it and it doesnt really spin anymore from a stop.....and has ur car ever been turned off with the traction controll switched to the off position??? i think when this happens when it is turned back on the car automatically as a default puts the traction controll on...

2. clutch in
