  2. Small bit of info for you guys that want maximum traction: Under acceleration - as well as in braking and cornering - there is a definite traction limit. This is established by the coefficient of friction between the tires and road, which is limited by the type of tire, effectiveness of the car's suspension, road conditions and balance of the car. Generally, on a dry road, maximum traction occurs when there is approximately 8 to 15% wheelspin. This means a tire develops its most grip when there is actually a certain amount of slippage (due mainly to the elasticity of the rubber tire). At this rate there will be a faint squeal of tires and a faint grey line on the road. Exceeding this amount of wheelspin, or limit, will result in less than maximum acceleration. If you should begin to get this kind of wheelspin, back off the throttle, feathering it until you have controlled traction at maximum acceleration again. Obviously, this traction limit changes with road conditions. On a wet road the limit is around 2 - 5% wheelspin; on ice 0 - 1/2% wheelspin. guy in my old work told me this when i googled it i was suprised to see it was true.
