The i4 with stock tires will chirp second and sometimes if I shift with WOT i can hear the 225 18s skip a beat but they don't make a noise. I feel so pathetic. Boasting that my car could make the wheel turn once or twice going to second haha

With the power we have I still can't see our cars spinning through 2nd gear. Chirp yes, but not spin. Just maybe if u held the ebrake and could be still on stocks, MAYBE 2nd gear would catch and spinn.

When I auto-x I drop the clutch at 4k on 16 205 tires and it makes for a good launch. Going into second I can make a nice chirp with WOT, but I don't have a problem controlling wheel spin once out of 1st.
