Have you done any performance mods?
Since I had my tuned by Eurocharged and added the Sprint booster, the car leaps from a stop. I don't have to floor it to have it "crawl" sideways when pulling away from a stop. Even with the traction control off, if I start our with a feather throttle then get on it, I can feel the tires spinning through the intersection.
I LOVE THIS CAR!
