Ferrari, McLaren, and all the other top end companies have mastered suspension technology to a point where wheelspin isn't a huge concern. They can hage huge power at the rear wheels and still have good traction. That's my $0.02 at least. ==========Sig Begins Here========== "That's what you get living in ghetto Oak Lawn.
