AGAIN TRACTION lsd or not i smoke up the tires if i launch to hard and that is launch at never higher than 2000 rpm , mario driving yours like that , kiss your clutch goodbye , i should do better when i get some new tires and change my suspension i am getting to much rear squat these days so im losing traction
