For sure street tires are not great for launching hard. I cant even go wot in 1st or 2nd, if I don't gradually increase throttle Im breaking loose.

Hell even 3rd gear at wot is right on the edge of loosing traction. This is strictly street driving, and Ive not had it to a track. I really wish there was one closer than 2 hrs away from me. Maybe next spring I can get there , they are all closed up for the season now.

Sounds like your car is running good thou, the traction limit in 3rd must be a good feeling. My car won't even do that. Congrats on sweet deal, awsome looker also.
