Default burnouts + tail end stepping out

So maybe its me, but i have the hardest time keeping my tail end from trying to swap ends on me.

When doing a controlled hard start with mild wheelspin, not a problem.

But when i want a smoke show and just uncork one, tail end will step out a good foot and always wants to come around unless i back off the throttle.

Road are nice and smooth, running stock 235's.

Is it just me?

im confused about what you are asking... you say you have a hard time trying to keep it under you but then you say its only when youre smokin em
when youre smokin the tires what does it matter whether it stays still, all cars are gonna want to go out unless you control them
or if you just want more traction then its time for better tires

Rear wheel drive+burnouts+properly functioning limited slip differential=what you said it's doing...at least every vehicle I've ever had with that formula did.

Sounds like you need some LCA's, a UCA, and a panhard bar and new wider rims/tires! Or get line locks for the front brakes and do a burnout in a standstill! JMO J

i think he is saying that if he feathers the throttle he can get going with a little wheel spin. If he just nails it from a stop it steps out.

See my above post.
