Traction - aren't FGX XR8's known for just not being able to grab the road & go?

Yeah tons of low down torque + crappy dunlops + crappy chassis setup = wheel spin

XR8 sprint has Pirellis
I'd have to go back & check it, if I've not chucked it, but I'm pretty sure when Wheels ran an XR6T Sprint against an XR8 Sprint, the 6 was (consistently) ~ 0.1s quicker for the quarter, but the 8 had a higher clock-speed. Doesn't that indicate traction problems? [I'm no drag expert, I keep tearing the tights & the heels just hurt]
Maybe just needs a lot more rubber than fits without guard mods?

275 ET streets sorted me out fine, fit easy.

Great result. Almost 11s! 3.70s in your future?
