I just don't get it. I used to put down 400bhp on the stock all-season 215s in my FWD Civic Si in 3rd gear no problem.

I have 100% traction with 335bhp (yeah I've already modded it to add power) in 1st gear on 265s in the Cayman.
I had 100% traction with roughly 320bhp (on e20) in 1st gear on 245s in the BRZ.

Maybe your suspension is way too stiff? Something isn't right imo. Sorry if this is derailing the thread, but I am really surprised by this.
