Wheel spin in 2nd

chuckd05

umm, not to be a dueche but maybe ease onto the throttle more ? VDC also comes on for me on random weird occasions when I really do not think the tires would of broken lose if it were off.. You just need to get used to the car and its cold weather habits and you will get used to and avoid these instances.

VLSD will not do anything significant as far as helping you not spin in your situation but I would suggest getting it for plenty of other reason... a true LSD is even better but not necessary.. Summer tires just dont like the cold weather , thats all.. 60 isnt really all that cold but still that wouldnt happen in 70+ degrees.

I still wonder about the Z/its tires. I was riding in my friend's 370 and when he floored it in 2nd at about 4500rpm (I forget our speed), the low-trac light or whatever it says came on. The car had broken loose in 2nd on a punch (not a shift).

Are the Z's spring-rates VERY aggressive? Are the tires just not that sticky? I remember my WS6 being able to floor it in 1st at 4000rpm or whatever and it just hooking and going. It had the same width tires (275s) as a Z, and a much more archaic suspension and a ton more torque.

I am curious why Z's seem to be traction-limited in a straight line, I would think with the 275's out back and nearly 50/50 weight dist. they would just hook like crazy.
