You should take it in to your dealer and tell them "I'm not sure what's going on!? Every time i nail the throttle white smoke pours from the rear of the car and it gets all twisty like!!"

I noticed I'm having a similar problem...

Between my house and my parents is about 10 minutes of twisty backroads. Every time I pull back in to my garage it has this really strong rubber smell, and all I can do is nod my head and smile? :shrug:

You should most definately get that checked out immediately! I hear that means theres some kind of nutjob weighing down that drivers seat, which in turn throws off the weight balance and wears the tires out.
Lol

You might want to try low-rolling resistance tires, designed for better fuel economy and treadware.

Had those on my last car. Didn't make a difference in fuel economy and horrible road noise. I would never put those on a family sedan, let alone a performance car.

rumor has it that an old thought to be dormant strain of a disease known as "Don Garlitsitis" has been rediscovered recently in many portions of the United States. Unconfirmed reports of random outbreaks in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia have been received but at this time they cannot be substantiated. Other common names for the disease or its offshoots are "Leadfootitis", "Launch control syndrome", and "flogging Molly" !

Dude. It's called sarcasm. It runs strong with Jimmy. No one is suggesting Prius tires for a Mustang GT.

Although, shockingly, they were actually standard equipment on the 2011 V6 (first year with the 3.7 engine). They did everything they could to make it the first car with 300 hp and 30 mpg, including 17" Prius tires as original equipment.
