I have no problem controlling the traction. You just can't slam the throttle down, this will result in loss of traction. I can smoothly and quickly accelerate with no problem. Practice a little, you will get used to it.

it's definently controlable......but it is so much fun to squeeze the throttle down until the turbo spools and break the tires loose. We all have the ability to not "slam" the throttle down, but its soooo much fun!! Thanks for the tip though

Exactly. Sounds like some of you need the driver mod.

If the pavement is a tad wet, I get squeal even from an SS auto running regular fuel. And don't go anywhere near the painted crosswalks. Those things are made of thermosplastics and are real slippery.

I get the same thing in my 2.4. If I even get on it alittle the tires will spin and squeal a bit and the torue steer comes into play which I like because it helps keep you awake.
On another note when I try to peel out and squeal the tires it seems it doesn't want to, it just does a lil more than when it happens by accident, just kinda weird.
