RE: burning rubber
ORIGINAL: Erimikos
I had the same issie with mine.. It will get quite a bit better once it gets broken in...
I know I was very disappointed with this one at first.. But now, I have little trouble spinning them in my all stock GT with the TCS off.. Have a tendency to do so a bit too often on corners..
You might notice when taking off, if you floor it, there is a torque management system in effect on the car.. It will not put full power down until it gets moving a bit.. its rather aggrivating.. In mine, its enough to where i can feel it in the seat.. It will start accelerating to around 15-20 or so, then you can feel a noticible difference as it unloads the engine to the tires... pushing you back in teh seat a bit more.
While my car is still completely stock.. (that whole warranty thing.. kinda worries me..) I have heard Very good things in regards to getting an SCT tune for the automatics.. Apparently, the SCT tune is better then the others for the automatics, as it will adjust shift points, as well as do wonderous things for that *%$%* torque management system....
Tires are pricy anyways.. lol

I've noticed that power drop too. I don't try to burn the wheels yet (only 5300 miles), but I do get on it pretty heavily from starts sometimes, and I noticed that the car tends to "bog down" (for lack of a better word) while it's just about ready to shift from 2nd to 3rd. Kinda makes me wonder how well she'd perform in a quick race or 0-60.
