Default Trouble Hooking Up

So I just got my first vette a couple weeks ago and have put a couple thousand miles on here already. I feel pretty comfortable with the car right now. A buddy of mine has a 93 fox body with some work done to it. We lined up a couple times and im having trouble getting the wheels to hook up. Im assuming I need to upgrade tires for starters (Hankook V12) came with the car, also maybe I need to learn where to launch from RPM wise? Any info is appreciated, and no im not going to be some dumb street racer I plan on taking it to my local track soon I would just like to learn before hand a little.

And dont worry I took the fox body down no problem even with the wheels spinning

Glad your enjoying the car! Couple questions, is it a ZO6 or coupe, Manual or auto, if auto what gear does it have in it and is it stock or have mods.
