Maybe one day...

There's a lot of fun to be had in the 0 to legal limit MPH range. Just because you don't want to go fast doesn't mean that you don't want to get to the speed limit quickly.
I think it was the great author Stan Lee, who wrote in Amazing Fantasy #15 (First Appearance of Spiderman), "With great power, comes great responsibility." Well, in the sports car world, "With great power, comes great acceleration." So, enjoy it! Responsibly!

your going to need a lot more power than that. sure on a "take-off" you will be able to spin out, and chirp 2nd gear... but after that... traction should NOT be a problem for you! get new tires!
