Ithrew 2 40lb bags in the back of my car trycinderblocks etc... just add some weight you won't spin as much.

Main rule of thumb is to avoid stop's on hills and the gas pedal doesn't go down farther than 50% to the floor

ive noticed my mustang doesnt hydro as bad as i thought it would. as long as im easy off the clutch- driving in the rain is no problem at all, just annoying cause i cant put down the window and hear it roar...
