Iv been having a hard time actually breaking the tires loose with my auto and 3.55s the car seems to just hook and if it does break the tires loose it wheel hops through first then grabs is this normal? I thought I was going to have traction probs out the ass

Are we talking about a 2015 or a Mustang II?

This is just strange. Either you have AWESOME tires or a bad motor. My PP tires break freely without much effort actually.

I'm curious what it dynos, report back please!

The 2015 GT I test drove had a bit too much traction also, far from the fox body 5.0 ... A little drama makes for a fun time in a street car/dd

It's just weird because it wheel hops a couple times and then hauls ass it seems like but I'm also going to try taking the spare out and see what that does

I've been running snow tires since 327 miles, but I can make those spin with a short jab of the gas even with the traction control on.

Yeah, to get sub 5 second 0-60 in a 3700lb car ... it needs to hook up and with that automatic the weight transfer/launch is good I'm assuming.

Have you done 0-60 pulls or no app on that model?

And you're complaining about this? If you're not spinning...should have some kick ass 0-60 times!

I'll go try a 0-60 right now and report back lol I'm just thinking about why isn't it spinning the wrong way I guess lol like what could be wrong etc. Maybe I should think positive about it

I'd have to soak my puny-ass 235's in Crazy Glue to get them to stick. Even with the 255's...with traction control off, you should be able to light them up in a pile smoke any time.
