Soak your tires in gasoline and light them on fire right before you race.

thank you guys for your very amusing solutions, i like the one about soaking my tires in gasoline and lighting them on fire..., as for suspension its completly stock, someone said something about springs? what are these spring you speak of and where can i buy them, and my cars suspension isent fucked up or anything, it only has 59,000 miles on it there just to much damn power, and someone also said something about being on a straight line, what happens is i start off nice and slow and as soon as i punch the throttle boost biulds up at by 6 grand the wheels are spinning all the way untill 8 grand, if like an angered beast.

welcome to the club...if your running stock suspension thats your problem. get struts and coilover. FWD sucks because all the weight transfers to the back so you need to get rid of that monster body roll by a stiffer suspension than you'll stop spinning. Or get a trans with taller gears

stiffen the rear suspension.

another solution would be to either change the length of the end links or use spacers between the bar mounts and chassis on the front sway bar to jack the weight across the front axle so that you have equal weight on each front wheel. i've seen FWD minivans with 1.8sec 60' times using this method.

does your car have ABS? i'm working on a cost effective traction control system that cuts spark based on wheel speed info from the ABS sensors.

Bigger exhuast housing if you used a HMT, if you have a pre-fab, non- garrett kit... You can always go "supra style". "het wanna race ?". "sure". "ok, I'll let you hit it first from a 80mph roll..".

FWD = no good..

BFG drag radicals hook-up the best, but nitto DR's last longer and hook-up almost as good..

There is a supra that runs at least 8.9 on nittos ( 8.9 is what I saw it run.. Who knows its best time.. ).
