Losing control, as in, not being able to recover from a rear end wiggle? If yes, alignment is correct and tires aren't damaged, then driver mod indeed.

Had the same happen to me, cold-ish day, PS4S, poorly prepped track, NLS 1-2 and holyyyy let off and enjoyed a 16 second run or worse


Ran another half dozen times w/o issue but no traction and throttle on these cars is very hard to modulate.. relationship between pedal travel and engine "power" is poor.

I think he means the throttle is stuck open.

Can’t say that I have. I have 4 cars ranging from 400 to 1000 hp all manual and have driven in all kinds of temps on all kinds of surfaces. My 1st car though was a 1970 chevelle and at 16 with 400 hp and crap tires compared to today’s tires it was a perfect car to learn car control. I still have it today.

I mean it was a 80 degree day, tires were hot, oil temperature good. Launching from 0 to 45 it was all good, but at the moment I no lift shift to 2nd. My car lost control. Thank God I was able to recover it without any accident.

I never had that problem no lift shifting from any other gears.

And after that incident, I got kinda scared no lift shifting going WOT from 1st gear to 2nd.

I was also researching online, and I found an article saying. That when one shift gears, the process of building load on the rear tires start over decreasing maximum acceleration momentarily. Making it easier to spin the tires after the gear shift.

What you mean to say is you lost control of your car. This reminds me of the videos of 100% stock mustangs driving into the wall at the drag strip.
