2nd to 3rd breaking loose

[WicK]

anyone have their rear end swing hard right and left on the 2nd to 3rd shift while getting on it hard? Was thinking maybe the limited slip in the rear might be messing up?
Noticed my car always pulls to the right when she breaks loose even just giving it gas in 2nd. I have a bmr panhard bar and lowering springs.

What rear tires are you running?

stock f1s when that was going on. But even with et streets I get a minor kick to the right

When we bought ours, it had the F1s still mounted. Terrible tires for normal street use. The car would break loose in the first 3 gears so easily. Scary, actually. Ours had the Cobra Jet springs on it, too. One of the first things we did was put the factory springs back on and had new Michelin A/S 3+ tires on her. The car became instantly civil again, for a car with 662 HP, that is. I also had the front spoiler replaced with a new piece. So many scrapes from sitting too low. It just wasn't worth it, as I had to pre-map out how I was going to drive - what routes to take. Just not worth looking "cool" IMO.

So maybe it might just be the f1s.

If it’s the original set, then most likely. The more a tire ages the more grip it loses. 5-7years is the life expectancies of most tires

Junk tires = junk traction..

 

[Catmonkey]

good tires + cool temps = junk traction

The cold temps are what shoved me towards the Michelin All-Season tires. I enjoy driving the GT500 sometimes when it is below 40 degrees. Not on salt, snow, ice or rain. But when it is clear and cold I still enjoy getting her out for some exercise!

Besides the OEM tire problem , what mode are you driving in when this happens?

Traction off with 0 assistance. ( hold traction button for 8 seconds to turn off)

Well that answers my question. I was wondering if it was trying to come around on you and the nannies were stopping it, making you feel the kick out.

Its just weird, I was thinking maybe cause of the panhard bar to but doubtful

Possibly lower control arms, but I doubt it, I just picked up a set of Toyo R888Rs for the rear, I'll let you know how those feel.
