[djjerme]

Got ridiculously sideways yesterday. My car is so squirelly in the rain, can't go above 3k or the tires just break loose.

Weird, I can shift properly at 5k if I wanted and not break the tires loose. It all depends what gear you're in, and if you're driving like a race car driver. It's an M50, they don't have thaaat much power.

You do know that you don't have to have the pedal pushed all the way to the floor when you are accelerating, also try better tires.

This.

I actually don't. I was simply stating that my brand new tires break loose above 3k.

I have brand new Bridgestone Potenza RE050As on the rear, and Michelin PS2s on the front. Your car must be broken.

[5Toes]

Lol my car just loves to break away.

Stupid open 4.10 diff

Ok, ok, it's not every gear, but first and second after 3k, gets super squirelly. I know they're not that powerful, but I don't think the S3.73 helps matters. I'm running Dunlop Direzzas, not the best, but they're basically brand new (less then 1000 miles.)

try having a s4.10 and not break 185's loose, its dam near impossible.

LOL. I think a lot of cars are that way. It's called controlling the car while you accelerate.
