The only real way to improve that is to get stickier and wider rear tires. Just remember that those will also be heavier, if you want to stay street legal.
If you really want to change the feel of the car and get better acceleration, you should think reduction of rotating mass and that means lighter wheels. The OEM 20" rims are heavy, around 30 pounds. Changing to 19" rims, even in the 24-25lb range, would get you a much quicker feel in acceleration. Throw on the stickiest street legal rubber you can and that is basically the limit.

Thanks for the reply. It is fast, and to each their own on what they want right. But I've been bitten by that bug to see what else it can do. Well, short trading in for a ZL1 which is in the supercar category, imo.
i've read several folks posts on going with different tires than the stock run flats and considering that, including the change in width.
i'm aware of "advertising", and seen the bmr notes of "launching harder"... just wondering if there any verified "truth" to that advertising.
Thanks again!
