Can't spin the tires
I found myself in a nice empty parking lot this sunny afternoon. I was bored so I decided to see what would the Is 350 do if I gun it from a dead stop. I got traction immediately and took off like hell, which is a good thing. However, I'm wondering do any of you guys peel off when stepping on it from a dead stop? I also did the pedal dance and turn "power" mode on, but I still wasn't able to break the tire loose.
Now before you guys tell me it's a waste of a good tire or it's not the quickest way to take off, I'm aware of that. I just wanted to see if it's possible.
Thanks

On the 07' 350 you can hold the trac button down for 10 seconds and forgo the pedal dance (both lights should be lit). The traction control will stay off and you should be able to break free; mine will.

I'm surprised. I can blow the tires off my 350 sport pack anytime and I got the car a week ago. It's only got 900 KM on it right now. I found that disabling traction control will easily allow you to get it sideways and spin the tires.

I have the Dunlops, and have yet to break traction from a standstill at 4k miles unless I floor it around a corner. I consider this a positive attribute...I'd rather be moving than standing still with my tires smoking.
