frazierfreud Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 i hear a lot about what skilled drivers can do to improve 0-60 times, better take-off...pretty much due to being able to finesse the car into a quick start without excess wheel spin. i even watched a motor trend video on youtube and they said a "skilled driver" can do 0-60 in about 4.6 seconds. the question i have is: without adding mods to give better traction, is it all about throttle control? you know, just not getting into it completely in 1st and maybe 2nd gear? i don't consider myself a skilled driver at this time...getting better though. this is my first fast car ever. :happy feet: also, with stock tires...what could be done mod wise to help out with excessive tire spin? thoughts are appreciated.

Buy a v-6 gt- sorry but you have to much power to expect your tires to not spin even stock- been there done that- have mt drag radials control arms and still can break them lose ulnless I am at a track for a burnout- be glad you have a car that can spin the tires- should get a chirp in four gears although first may take you sideways if you are not careful- join the mod squad- empty your wallet to help keep the economy going, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are tricks you can learn, but the tires are going to spin. I ease up to 40 in 1st, then get on in hard when I hit 2nd. I still break the tires loose and go sideways depending on the road surface, but you can stay on it hard through the other gears. You have a lot of power and it will break the tires loose, enjoy.

gabnmantha Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I do the same thing. Take off in first @ about 2500 RPM's & ease it till my shift light goes off (I set mine @ 5000) & then hit second & blast away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
