Launch control doesn't keep working once you shift to second gear, who knew?

Seriously though, when I first got my SS on the stock Pirellis I had my car pointed at the ditch and managed to save it before anything bad happened.

Respect the power.

Not me... love the PZeros. Above 55 degrees (summer tires) and decent road conditions, they kick ass.

Switching to Goodyear F1 Run-On-Flat for the 6thGen may just stop me from getting one.

Why not buy the 2016 and swap in some pzeros?

Yeah, that's called needing to learn how to drive. I can launch my car full tilt boogie and get the ass end sideways but keep it going straight. Only twice did it not wanna co-operate and me have to get out of it. But, I did! That's one thing I like about this car is if it gets silly, easy to reign it back in shape.

So sad how do you mess up in a straight line? I've been street racing for 5 years with no accidents, sure sometimes your car goes sideways but its a easy fix.

This dude should go buy a prius.

Anyone who complains about tires doesn't know what there talking about. I race and do burnouts with cheap $100 tires..... Tires barley have any affect on a car just saying.. Unless your drag racing then you need some slicks of course.

Tell you what, I'll buy a set of Pzero's and trade you for the Goodyear F1 tires... The ZL1 comes with Goodyear F1 tires so that says something.

Launch Control wont save your ass after the launch, he hit second and that's where he lost it.
