Sounds like you need some 315's. I can't break traction even in first from 1k rpm. Only way I can break traction is to dump the clutch or come at it sideways. And mines stick.

Mine does about the same as everyone else said. They'll break loose for a second or two if I mash the gas from a stop, and because of the j-mod it'll bark nicely into second. Nothing too crazy though; other than a j-mod I'm pretty much stock. 275 tires btw.

I have only barked into second like twice in my bone stock auto gt. But my exhaust will be finished up tomorrow so hopefully I will be able to bark more often.

The '03 GT auto vert I had for a week couldn't muster any wheelspin off the line when doing a dead hit without brake assist. It would chirp 1st-2nd every time when I upshifted it manually but not at all when left in fun ole' "D". Car was bone stock though...

Full breakdown of mods..

JLT RAI
BBK 75mm throttle body/plenum
SLP longtubes
SLP o/r X
Borla Stinger Cat-Back
Dyno Tune with SCT xCal II and bumped shifts/firmness.

I really want some 4.10s..

I would love to run a wider tire than I am right now. Problem is...with the way the Borla Stinger cat-back is bent, I had to run a 1" rear spacer just to clear my tires that are on there now, and they arent wide at all (probably most of the reason I spin so much.) I'm running a 255/45/18 and am only clearing my pass. rear tire by about the width of my index finger.

The only mods I have on my 2003 GT Auto are a K&N Filter, 3 inch MAC catbacks and an aggressive 87 octane SCT tune, NON canned. And i'm sorry but....some of you should really try it before you knock it. The notion that I cant get sideways off the line with just a tune on an auto is......pretty LOL. Barking my tires is almost impossible to PREVENT if I shift above 3500. Get real folks.

3.27s are our stock gears, don't go back to that mechanic......either he lacks basic knowledge or hes trying to sell you stuff.

Traction > Sound

GThopeful

I'm not arguing that, but it's tough to change a $600 cat-back that I love the sound of. It's just not high on my priority list.

Wow seriously yall cant spin your tires? I can't get traction in 1st! I can bark the tires in second because of the shift pressure from my tune.

GThopeful

Pretty sure the general consensus (sp?) is that everyone with a tune doesnt have any problems spinning off the line and the 1st to 2nd shift.
