Anyway, I own an MT Sport. You know on occasion, when the light turns green, and you want a quick getaway? Well, I've tried all different ways to get a good launch out of this car, at all different starting RPMs. Here's the key to what I'm talking about though... I do this on rare occasion, and I don't warm up the tires before a spirited launch.

I still am running the stock Potenzas and do notice a significant difference depending on the outside temperature. It just seems that this car struggles for traction when having a little fun with it. I always have my VDC on, but that's the key. I just don't want the car to spin it's wheels so much through the first two gears. Our VDC does leave a bit for wheel spin which is nice. Once the car finally has a good hookup, then she moves.

Anyone else noticing this?
