Does any one have any suggestion on how I can get more traction off the line and when I shift from 1st to 2nd (I almost hit another car the other day when I shifted from 1st to 2nd and the car went sideways!) I already have new PHR, LCA's, TA (set to -2 degrees), 1LE springs, and my tires are GoodYear GSC's.... that have a whole lot of tread on them so my wife probably won't let me replace them....... But any other suggestions would help! Thanks!

Yeah Scott, what Garry said.

It's called a RWD V8 powered car with a light ass rear end. You just have to take it easy man. Believe me, I know what the urge is like to floor it as you're making a turn, or starting at a light. You just have to try to calm down, and save that stuff for big parking lots, or the track! ;)

Do you have LCAs with relocation brackets? If not, I highly recommend them. This might help a bit, but like previously stated, just apply a little less pressure on the pedal.
