Wheel spin in 2nd

spearfish25

^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.

The Z just seemed very prone to low traction. It was 90* the night my friend and I broke his loose hitting it in 2nd. I just think it must have minimal weight transfer. I have long wondered how the 370Z is pulling the same as a corvette on the skidpad even though they weigh the same and the 'vette has much wider tires. I think the Z just has seriously aggressive spring-rates.

"Hitting" it in my WS6 never broke the tires loose. It hooked. In the rain I had to roll onto it though, then it would stick until about 5500rpm.
