Over where I am at, many sections of road are grainy, and are of bad quality.

there are joints or sections of road that is very bumpy, almost in a state of disintegration.... due to the crumbly nature of the road.

When I first got here, whenever I gave anything close to half throttle, even in third gear, the tires would spin at will..... then if I got over a section of road that was not bumpy, the tires would hook up and I shot forward in Hyper Speed, instant 90 MPH.

The first couple weeks it ws fun, but I chilled because I wanted to take it easy on my driveline, including my differential.

My Trans Am LS-1 is kicking @ss and not missing a beat.

I keep the TCS on always, and I definitely need it.

I have high mileage tires, but you can see on them that the coarse nature of the road is rough on the rubber.

I am taking it much easier now, unless on a open, smooth highway, pretty much.

What are some problems that could arise if this situation went unchecked?

well it really is not bad, just some sections of road actually

unless I am on a good with good asphalt quality, which hook up firmly.

It is common for me to just ever so slightly make the rear tires go just slightly faster than actual speed

I am definitely up to practice on rear end drift and steer now.
