Blowing the tires off with 270 fwtq when you floor a car in 2nd gear isn't what I would call a good thing. I am curious if anyone knows the stock spring-rates on the Z? It has to be a suspension deal, the tires on those cars are not junk and 75* is not cold.

FRONT:
OE rate: Linear 74 N/mm (422 lbs/in)
REAR:

Found this. Not really that stiff. I dunno why these cars are so traction-challenged. With their weight, balance, power, and tires, they shouldn't spin this easily. I noticed the same thing in my friend's 'vert. Hitting it in 2nd would light up the VDC. Rediculous.
