The bottom line is you don't get wheel spin in the Z or any car if you use the 'right' amount of throttle for a given situation and road surface. I'd absolutely put money on the fact that springs, spacers, and an alignment aren't going to change a thing.
After making a move to Corvette LS3, I changed my driving habits... With competitive driving mode on or even traction control ON, If I stomp on the pedal, wheels will spin, even when shifting gear with higher RPM. Now I see why many people will instantly say that corvette makes you a poor driver.

That being said, I agreed with other poster about OEM tires are junk and not provide enough grip.. this is specially true with OEM Good year F1 GS2 supercar runflat tires on Corvette.
