you cant punch it in a fwd...it will just spin. you have to ease on the gas untill you feel the tires grip then punch it.

And if you are spinning through gears, then that is driver error too. So your launch needs work.

BFG's all the way. NESpeed used them on his Single RX7 and pulled a 1.8 60ft. which I also pulled a 1.84 in my Evo and I was AWD on street tires.
