It's funny, my 370z will flash the traction light at me all the way up into 3rd gear at WOT in the summer here in Vegas (110+ temps). This is both with my current Nismo and my previous touring/sport (essentially both with LSD). I just chalk it up to crappy stock tires. Plan to go to RE-11's at some point or what ever happens to be the best tire at the time. For now I just make sure to watch it when going WOT. Now that it's getting colder the tires definetly don't hook up very well. Still, I find it odd that even in the summer I can breack traction at WOT in 3rd. I'd say it's problem with my car except that it's happend with both 370z's.

Our 2010 Camaro SS on the other hand with worse stock tires, more hp, more torque has much better traction. Might be due to the MORE weight and longer wheel base also???
