Just try and achieve exactly 15% wheelspin....if you can then you also won't need ABS. You can then get a job coaching Mark Webber
15%? - what is this a percentage of? How do you measure wheel spin in %?
'ideal' acceleration requires spin? No, Ideally you want 0% spin, 100% go.

'Dumping' the clutch on AWD redefines a launch.
