It the factory claims 4.0 to 60, it should be capable of that on the street. Are you talking about normal tire pressure or maybe a little lower?
Hi, and thanks. I'm running normal tire pressure. Yeah, I wonder about the factory claim of 4 flat... thus far just figure it's my inexperience and lack of practice with launching this car. Last "hot rod" I owned was a '70 SS camaro... it drove a little different than this one, so what I know from it might not translate to this one, lol. it just slid, or drift as its called today. ;-)

The few times I've tired, I honestly can't say how much tire spin at start I was getting. I can tell the car is limiting itself to control spin out of the hole (TC on of course). That's in part what lead me think to ask this question... whether the tires maybe could bite better if the suspension maybe was moded.

Someone on here summed it up concisely as "spinning ain't winning".
