30 to 80mph must have kept your backside pinned to the seat, eh?

Now get it doing this at 50+ MPH.

I have seen it twice where the road was damp once and once with a light dusting of road salt.

I thought I broke something when the power dropped a little and the traction control light came on. Even my old SS V8 cars never did that.

Cheap Pilots and FWD with power can do some neat things.

Hmmmm, thought the video was interesting but did NOT see the acceleration that most owners claim the SS has. By my stop watch calculation....30-80 MPH was about 6.5 seconds. Would that not be the area of greatest effort from the turbo?

The T/C may have slowed it down a bit. But I do 0-77 in 9.5 on cruise night in the 1/8th. some guys on here with better track prep hit 80 in the low 9's...I'll be doing a 0-60 eventually. On pavement and not at the track

Lack of traction is the main issue. Every time that low traction is on that is the loss so speed.
