+1 on the traction control...and by the way, you have a 2-stage traction control at your disposal. Pressing the TRAC OFF button once will allow wheel spin but not yaw, and then holding the button for 3 seconds AFTER the first press will turn EVERYTHING off.
With everything off, the car will be screaming
at every opportunity. Expect to wind up around backwards at some point if you don't give it proper respect. Don't ask how I know. 
However, with everything off one can lay down some impressive impromptu rubber too. This was in my driveway and in the interest of Science for one of my kids' classes...

Okay, things are looking up. I took the advice given here and put it to good use. Looks like I did not understand how to drive one of these V6ers
I was a Dodge Hemi driver for many years and relied way too much on the torque to get things done. Went to a V6 to save on gas while still getting some decent performance. So after my first few 0-60 runs and was only pulling 6.7's, I was quite disappointed. However, after taking the pointers from some of you guys and did a few practice runs I am now down to 5.2 for a 0-60. I think after a little more practice and installing the race tune I am optimistic that a flat 5.0 second run is in my future...hell, maybe it is even possible to pull off a 4.9. Anyway, thanks to everyone who offered help and advice.
