The roads here aren't any worse than in Austin, it's just that you don't notice it in Austin because you never exceed 8 mph there!

If you were in Belleville Canada I could verify that problem for you.

I went from MD with new KDW2s and no traction problems to Belleville Canada and tons of traction problems. The tail was out around the corner at every stoplight if I used my normal MD driving style, which turned out to be a whole lot of fun. But I could granny start and be fine but the least bit of extra throttle and the Slip light was lit.

You sir, need to stay away from 6th street. :p

Sometimes when I take off, I have that problem. I'm not in S.A. but when it occurs in my vehicle it sems that the ground is uneven where I am taking off. The wheel starts spinning and the TCS and VDC lights blink. I never feel like I'm losing control though nor does the car fishtail.

ive test driven a few 370z's here in san antonio from the broadway 35 area to the military 410 area and san antonio's roads do suck.. in all of the drives i always got slip, ive seen some pretty bad roads but this area just blows. so im not suprised ur getting slippage.

Not a chance of that happening!

:rofl2:

True. Toll road makes for a good run now.

I live 281 North past 1604, and work downtown I agree that the roads closer to down town are slick. I don’t think its dust, but some roads seem oily downtown. Every Sports Car/SUV I have owned had traction problems closer to downtown; 1992 Corvette (6spd), 2008 Trail Blazer SS (Auto), and 2007 Solstice GXP (Auto). I must say the Solstice GXP was the worst when it came to traction. The 370z in these bad road situations still out performs all the vehicles I mentioned. But I have not had any issue with the highways or roads close to where I live up North 281. Sorry I don’t usually drive on 151 so I can not comment on that highway.

But that being said I have taken the bend right before the I-35 exit coming from 281N at 90mph. I was running late but even at that speed on a hard turn the car felt very planted, no traction control lights going off at all, I LOVE THIS CAR! :eekdance:

410 is great these days. My 350z has no first gear on normal streets. I just spin if I get on it. Like a few said, no rain for months, and over 100 degree temps for over 2 months too. It doesn't help any.

no traction issues for me when driving normally. i drive with VDC off 90% of the time because i do like to blip the throttle once in a while and get a tad sideways.

on another note looks like the 370 population is growing quite quickly here...we should organize a 370 meet.
