Traction isn't a problem on Mustangs if you have good tires. It has a solid rear axle, and LOT'S of torque, so that's what makes spinouts easy. Once the tread wears thin on your tires, you will notice it more than you would another car (and the difference it makes to put new ones on).

Drag radials...only if you're at the track. They'll shave .3 to .5 seconds off your E.T.'s.

All I know about suspension is if you lower your car, you will spinout more than normal...

I agree. Lots of torque, but that is why you bought it, right?

Yeah the tires will help, gotta get some myself. I'm looking into a tire that will give me good traction but can run on the street.

The mustangs stock suspension stinks. If you upgrade that, you will run better.
