get out there and play with different throttle levels, learn when it's OK to go WOT and when it will spin.

I have 9.5" rear wheels/275s and I can personally go WOT in 1st from a stand still. I don't know what to tell you. if I launch higher then 1.5k rpms I can't go WOT immediately, have to go half+ throttle until I am in motion then full WOT.

you'll have to experiment and learn what your car is capable of. good tires go a long way. I am impressed with my fk452's considering the price point

When does the NOS kick in. That may be the problem.

Try not to dump the clutch too fast. but then again dont ride it lol

tires take a big play as well. i too had a hard time at first. but i think im getting the hang of it.

BUT i always wondered.. if out 280HP cars loose traction so easily like this.. how do the higher end HP cars launch so well?!?!!

other then the ones with launch control
