2 months ago when I'd accelerate from a dead stop and hit second gear at WOT I'd squeal the rear tires real good and hard and the car seemed to be on a rail and wouldn't even think of fishtailing. Lately when I've gone WOT and hit 2nd the tires don't squeal, but the rear end feels like it's going to drive into the ground and then the rear end comes loose a little and fishtails so I have to get out of the throttle. I don't know if this is caused by the conditions of the weather now, maybe one tire is less worn than the other, an alignment issue, or maybe a control arm issue? I'm not keeping the throttle in when I shift, but doing the lift, push clutch, dump cluth and full throttle.

Conditions of the road, tire wear and driving experience all have their parts to play in this. Whipple on the way? That's gonna be fun for you [8D]

Yep, whipple came in yesterday and it's going to be installed wednesday

I fished tailed on cold pavement here in Illinois when I kicked it into 2nd. New lower control arms/brackets fixed that for me.

You might want to invest in such if a torque monster is on the way.

I say it's the weather. Cold outside with cold roadway equals poor traction.

I'm hoping it's the weather, but i'm having my tires rotated and balanced next oil change (possibly this week)if it was tire wear. I'm ready for it to get hot again lol I like WOT

Regardless be careful esp after the Whipple install!

Cold temps = harder rubber

Addharder rubberto LESS rubber and it speaks for itself.

it must be an anticipation issue... you're car is obviously aware of the upcoming mod and is super happy apparently. it's preparing you for the real thing
