True. I've got my 275s on 9.5s, TC and LSD (3.76), but I can still chirp 'em from a stop in a straight line, and completely bring the butt around in a curve, but, that is just screwing around.
From a stop, making a turn, if I stab it, the butt will move maybe a couple feet sideways, then snap back to center.
In the wet, or on damp roads, be very careful.

Group buy still open till Sept 20
Hey bravo, your advice doesn't hold for a GS4 person - we don't have a 4K turbo option (damn). Right now, I can't break loose my 19" 275's without a brake start, so the TC will help my low end - I'll have the LSD soon afterwards anyway. I believe that the TC will help ANY car (as long as you don't allow too much wheelspin). And, BTW, the TC group buy is still available until Sept. 20.

garnet92 [and all other TC buyers],
I would normally jump in but the timing is wrong [$$$] and when I do this I will get the LSD also.
Tomorrow will be a black Monday, not sure if I will be employed beyond. Fingers crossed.

that group buy sure lasts, but like redgs4, $$$ is no longer around. my recent purchases killed everything, and i'm taking a one-month asian vacation to enjoy graduated life before the "fun" of work starts.
red,
today might be ugly for you? good luck and don't go without a fight!
