could it be that it is just harder to launch? that is a fault of the car that can be overcome to a degree with a new set of rubber.

i've let a close friend of mine try my car, who has hundreds of passes under his belt from old to new muscle cars and, he even has trouble getting those just-right launches. he says the first mod i should do is get rid of the junk that comes stock and get a real performance tire then worry about the rest.

there is no question that the SS and the new GT are quicker than the R/T...just to clear that up folks. just, the R/Ts are not as slow as people make 'em out to be.
