Default feedback and traction question

My problem is that I'm having a hard time feeling any feedback in the cockpit of my Z with regards to traction.

Its most noticeable at the quarter mile track. At the strip, I have to hunker down in the seat and really listen hard to tell if my wheels are spinning at takeoff. I find there is feedback, its just very muted and difficult to read without a lot of concentration.

It also happens on the street sometimes when I get sideways without planning on it. I am able to correct the car when sideways, so the handling of the car seems good. It's just I have no advanced warning other than me knowing the limits of my car. Which I do. But I don't want to have to stare at the speedo while I drive into a corner. I feel that if I had more feedback, I wouldn't need to be at so exact when entering a corner.

Is there a way to make the feedback easier to read? Tires or suspension? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried watching the tach? If there is a rapid or unexpected increase in engine RPM, that would indicate the wheels have lost traction.
