yea, its all good, i prefer wheelspin to bogging >>

my car gets wheelspin too

Holy moly!!!!! it jumped from 0-60 and then to 90 like it was no big deal >> oh how i wish i could turbo my engine or do an engine swap >>

I am also doing some research for a Turbo on my car (no swap). But the thing is. Prices in US and here in Europe are completly different( in a bad way for me) Everything here costs so much more then in the US.

heyhey!!! Turbo!!

What's this 'wheelspin' thing that everyone seems to be constantly talking about. >>

i kid you not

i get wheelspin

putting 245hp and 240 tq at all four wheels plus stock craptastic WRX tires and stock WRX suspension lets me light up the tires when i launch, and i launch softly compaired to most WRX drivers. thats when i use launch control(makes 10psi sitting at a stand still)

i also get some wheelspin when i floor it rolling in 1st at 1krpm, happens right around 4k-4.5k rpm

dont worry, i plan to get rid of it ASAP, just need springs and an anti-lift kit to help get rid of the squat. under a launch, my rear wheels are almost fully tucked into the fender, resulting in a chirp from the rears and lots of wheelspin from the fronts

edit-just realized that quote wasnt talking about me, oh well
