Hey Guys, wondering if you could help me out..
So this morning on my way to work I came to a red light with a guy that lives in my area who I've been wanting to catch a red light with for a while.. he's always flying by my house in his little Ford ST.. so I was in sport with the stabilization off.. holding the rev at around 3.5 rpms and when I go to launch on this guy.. my front two tires are spinning and I actually started drifting over to one side a bit.. I finally started getting my grip back and ended whooping on the guy.. but that's besides the point.. This has never happened before.. I always get a really clean smooth launch in my car, I just raced a Golf R about a month ago and because of a great launch I beat the guy pretty good.. I have never heard any peeling out ever.. Almost felt like a college kid again when I had my 2001 Type R.. Please let me know your thoughts..
Also, this just happened and I should go out to my car and see if I need new tires.. but it almost felt more than that. I have about 17,000 miles on the car with the same tires. Any feedback would help. Thanks guys
