Oops, never figured in the temperature, don`t know where you are. Mine now has
the winter tires on it which don`t grip as well with 1" less tread width. They
don`t squeal much either but they do run better in the rain which is their
primary use.

`During moderate to hard acceleration in 2nd and 3rd gear the back end
gets squirrelly. Windows are up so I can not hear any tires squealing.
When I let off the pedal the car tracks straight . Its a stock 2005 Z51
with 30 psi in the stock tires.
Any thoughts guys?`
REPLY: Sounds like what a Corvette is supposed to do ! You dont have
a problem .

Someone mentioned that I should see "traction system active" on the DIC when
this happens.
I cant say if that message appeared because I didn`t look down, and I let
off the pedal just at it starts to get squirrelly. Will get on a stretch of
empty road and see if this message appears.
Will post back soon.

Title: How do you see other people's cars?
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 11:31:18 +0000
Author: Foxie
There are two main groups of people: those who know cars, and those who don’t. When it comes to judging the cars other people drive, the slants of these two groups really couldn’t be any further apart than they are. Either you care, or you don’t; it’s literally as simple as that. And while there are many, many subgroups within the “those who know cars” group, I really don’t feel like getting into it all here. (Right now, anyhow. Maybe another day.)
Those who don’t.
Just as with the “those who know” group, the “those who don’t” have subdivisions as well. The ones I want to pick on, though, are the ones that don’t know cars but still care. These are the bread and butter of my entertainment when it comes to cars. This group is famous for:
- Keeping BMW in business, one soccer mommy car at a time.
- Spurring AMG to release the AMG Black series, since too many people were buying AMGs for the name and not performance. THANKS for this one!!
- Thinking sports cars are expensive and unattainable. Or discrediting “cheap” sports cars.
