You're gonna have traction problems in any FWD car with a decent amount of power. The laws of physics are working against you.

The best thing you can do to hook, is to properly setup your suspension for launches. If you want to have traction in a FWD car in the 1/4 mile - your gonna sacrafice ride quality. Good quality - traction bars, like Jim Fab will really help! I speak from experience.

I don't have any traction problems, but i also don't have over 200 to the wheels. IF you do have that much power and you don't have traction issues then you must be one hell of a driver, or you're leaving something out, either way i still say BS.
