these chassis are really good. not to mention the goodyear super car 3 tires are pretty sticky. combine that with a 305 rear tire that's over 27" tall and it is a recipe for a surprising amount of straight line traction. edit: when stock - the car would hardly turn a tire at all on a hot summer day. clean them off on a back road and it would bog really bad when using launch control.

This was never a problem on my '17 Camaro SS M6 or other SS 1LE cars that I saw at the track.
If you raise engine speed to 5k rpm and quickly release the clutch and increase throttle, you're saying you can't spin the tires? If so, either the cal changed significantly on the model year 20 cars or something is wrong with the car or your procedure.

I had the same issue on my 2018 2SS 1LE when I went to the track. Once I figured out the nannies were not really off I felt pretty stupid. You have to hold down the traction control button for at least 5 seconds. You will then get a notification that everything is off. When that happens, be sure you are where it won't matter that you are doing a burnout. I hope this solves it.

As others have said as long as traction control is off, i.e. Sport Mode with Sport Comp engaged (double click the traction control button) or all off (hold for 5+ seconds) and not issues from a standing start.

Mustang-sized rear tires will help you.

Yeah if your rolling and tires are warm then I can cause some slip but very little. The big wide sticky tires are setup to avoid slip (last thing you want is snap oversteer on a corner exit).
If you want to roast tires the a base Camaro is a better bet. Same power, smaller tires |

To determine if anything is "wrong", I'd just take your car to a local 1/4 mile track and compare the times to other 6th gens or comparable cars that are running there.
