Default Traction???

I need better traction. i've got some nittos with alot of tread left, but besides tires what can i do for better traction? mabey lower control arms? what i'm concerned about is not spinning the tires, but sliding to the side. in first and second i'm all over the place. last night i was racing an '06 GT, and i almost hit him. i need help.

yea Granatelli C/As should do ya fine. but driving lessons are also not a bad idea if youre doing that much sliding with your mods.

you could also try adjusting the shocks/struts to a better drag racing setting.

Def look into working with your shocks and getting some LCA's, you really don't have the power to be skating all over the road. Maybe work with the clutch a little too.
