^Z tire spin is an issue when it's cold. When it's hot in the summer or during a track day, a straight line throttle 'punch' doesn't spin the tires nearly as readily. Also, any any track guru will tell you that 'punching' the throttle is not how throttle should be applied....because it'll spin the tires.

The Z is skittish over bumps and uneven pavement, which would lend to your spring rate theory.
