Is something wrong with my LSD??

Thanks for the well worded and informed replay. What you are saying makes sense it's just that when I've watched vids of other 370z's launching they don't do this. Also when I did launch the car it was far from hard. I don't doubt the stock tires suck for traction but with 7/32's still left of them I would think they would do better than they are. Thanks though for your replay. I'll ponder this a bit more.

The stock tires are crappy and it is so easy to spin them, I am assuming you have the stock potz on still correct? My car does the same stuff and its an auto. I have to feather the gas to get a good launch. One thing about Vegas is the asphalt is slick to begin with, sticky tires are a must and the stock potz just hook up. I can get it side ways real easy.

Yeah, stock tires still. Even at 18.5k miles I still have decent tread left. May wait until the 1st of the year and then just replace them prematurely. And yes, the Vegas roads are nothing great. Either covered in dust all the time or bumpy. Very hard to find some nice decent roads here.

So post up a pick of your Z. Maybe I've seen it around town. I know most of the local 370z's that frequent cars and coffee and the others that drive around Henderson.
