I recommend some 275/50/17 M&H drag radials. Even I have a hard time spinning these.
There's a down side to these though. They will only last 6k miles and your stock clutch will wear out sooner.

Maybe you just suck at driving







Lol im just kidding Gus... you must have the fastest stang on earth bc I dont have this problem!! You have 3.73's right?? Maybe lower the gear ratio... ***** down the tune a lil bit, fatter tires too. Traction control on, and feather the gas. This is coming from the same kid who couldnt do a burnout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

Also, the stiffer your suspension is... the harder it is to get traction. Just a thought.

Drag Radials will solve your problem period. If you wish to remain on your street tires I recommend a CHE K-Member Brace which will help your car from jerking sideways when you shift (help, not stop this from happening).

Thanks for the replies. I think it's the way I drive (a bit aggressive at stoplights), the crappiness of the Nittos and the cold weather outside.

My final decision is installing relocation brackets in the Spring OR to adjust my LCAs to force the tires against the ground (if the brackets are not needed). Also, when I go to the track...I will use drag radials because the Nittos suck monkey b@lls.

VerginaStang - it's all fun and games until I blow the doors offf your black piece of poop come this Spring

ALSO - I never said my car had 22,987 HP - I'm just saying that now that my car has around 300 RWHP...when I gun it at a light...the f*cker spins a lot. You can't win races if you spin (even though I don't race...BUT IF I DID!) It's just nice to know that everything would work if the situation arises. [sm=gears.gif]

those are fighting words, technically you are calling my car a black piece of poop too. I have the same black/tan combo as Vinny and JLT with Bama Tunes. Just for that I hope you miss a shift not that it matters, because you aren't getting traction anyway. Traction FTMFW!!!

but in all seriousness, try getting some relocation brackets and definitely some better tires. I still wanna hear those ARH's in person

Hahahahaa Thats sucks! Here you go bro these should help a lot: http://store.roushperformance.com/detail.aspx?ID=772

Its a roush wheel hop reduction kit for drag and low traction conditions. It sucks when youre just burning rubber and staying in one place while the other car is 3 car lenghts ahead already.
Has anyone seen a performance evaluation on this Roush kit? Not much info on Roush's website.

No. There the 17x9 bullits that americanmuscle.com sells. M&H told me they would work on a 17x8 though.
