Default Auto romp

So i found a nice large empty lot near my apartments at a local community college in Austin and got the chance to play full throttle. I have a 2012 auto and wanted to test wheel spin. It did awesome with a full throttle romp hard right turn with a vdc off and a hard 180. But testing it from a complete stop straight line throttle punch I was kinda dissapointed. There really wasn't any wheel spin like I expected. It's weird because I have done a straight line punch before and it did spin the tires while launching. I have noticed that if I drive the car soft to work and back all week the car seems sluggish. But when I drive it hard for a day or two the transmissinon seems to be much more responsive and aggressive with more torque. It's like sometimes it's nice and torquey and sometimes it's driving in 5th when it should be in 3rd....

And OP, my 7AT will burn rubber into second. I don't see why you should have a problem

Agreed. A couple of weeks ago at the drag strip with VDC off I spun all the way down the track. Like, no joke... all the way down. Was rather irritating because all I wanted was for the tires to grip so I could get a move on.

Now the issue with it feeling sluggish... the computer, like all modern ECUs adapt to driver input to increase efficiency.

Should've gotten a manual if you wanted wheel spin. I dump my clutch and put the pedal to the metal. Lots of spin and smoke

This has to do with the old Concrete VS Asphalt debate. Most tracks have asphalt as it is cheaper but it can get greasy and slippery. The good drag strips have concrete launch pads with an asphalt back half. Concrete (which is what public roads are made of) have better traction as it does not absorb moisture and get greasy like asphalt does which is why you have better traction on the street then you do at the drag strip with street tires. Older drag strips only have asphalt as it USE to be FAR FAR cheaper then cement.

Mildly considered this when I wrote my comment and you couldn't be more right.

Your public roads are made of concrete? Really? interesting..... not here. We have a few sections of hwy that are concrete where heavy traffic can wear the asphalt down too quickly, but other than that, all public roads are asphalt.....
