traction, what traction?
took a colleague out for a quick spin around the block (a corporate office park) in the Z last night after work.
traction control off, a quick blip to around 3k rpms, and i think we could've read a novel in the time we sat there moving slowly forward...with the engine roaring and the tires squealing!
THIS CAR IS NUTS!
i think i scrubbed several hundred miles off the tires, but holy smokes (literally) was that FUN!

Time for some DR's so you can have the, "Let me out" comment when going from 1st to 2nd. I have the problem, getting power hooked up. I find with no tires for traction I can actually launch harder/quicker with traction control on when cold out.

just got some new F1's on 
its great a slight spin in 1st when hit it hard and little spin in 2nd-its great it just hooks and goes great -course its been warm here this past week and it makes a big difference..leave the car in comp mode-or you will see the back end pass you up sometime..which won't be funny 
go with nittos if you don't mind replaceing the rears at 10k..
