Factory Goodyear tires are not sufficient. I did 2 line lock tests and they were bald. also when you air down your tires below like 20psi the line lock does not work. I start my burn out with the foot brake and gas then roll forward releasing the foot brake. I personally only use Mickey Thompson ET street Rs which work great for dig and roll racing which is what you are talking about. Factory tires work better for corners as well as R888Rs. I heard the Nitto NT05Rs are good as well. For your roll racing you can also stab the throttle once and the car will go into performance shift mode. So the car will down shift and hold at higher RPM for a little bit. You can keep it in performance shift mode by using the throttle.

If you are scared to look like a mustang driver then you need more time driving your car with all the nannies off. Practice on a flat wide open safe place with no one around. Learn how your car handles. This is very important to learn as well as throttle control.

Very Good advise - thanks, I even took notes - like serious ....
