What Tyres and suspension???
Is the falcon weber on yet?
Has the track got a UHT sticky coating?
If you are revving to the standard stall speed, and then lifting the brake, and getting wheelspin, Id say either your tyres are too small, their too hard (old) or your suspension is not the right setup. With a 8.3 0-100 time, you should be doing a much better quarter. Like mid 15's or something. |

| Rubber on the surface should actually improve your grip. |
