It boils down to the fact that GM uses a wheel slip calculation that is based on a percentage. So when you are moving slow on take off, say 1 MPH, if you have 1 MPH of wheel slip... which is almost imperceptible... that's 100% wheel slip! The computer panics because it thinks there's no traction and pulls a severe amount of ignition timing (in an attempt to regain traction)... This leaves the driver with a WTF just happened feeling.
I'm not exactly sure why, but the 6th Gen SS and the SS 1LE do not seem to have the same problem (at least not to the same extent).

Wow, that would drive me nuts...thankfully not an issue on mine.

Yes, but you are comparing the slowest M6 ZL1 times (many have gotten into the 11's) with a possible "hero" like time of another car. Too many variables too.
