Why doesn't 260hp/260tq light up tires more easily?

Its very simple. Forget all the excuses above. Need more hp......My wifes Camry has all the eletronic doo dads as well and still beats the G...My SRT, on the other hand......it's an utter annilation....
No one gives the 268 hp Camry respect on this board. Fact is, it will smoke the G (its 6 speed tranny is the key) unless it's a VERY talented 6M driver (like it or not, there are not that many out there
).

I can get the new mustang V-6 (4L) all day long with my G. Also I was bumper to bumper with a mustang gt convertible, which surprised me since they are running 300HP and 320ft-Lbs. I know the convertible is also 200 pounds heavier than the coupe too.

to the know-it-all. Just goin by what I see buddy. And I DONT see a lot of 5AT sedans layin down two trails of rubber, unless you know what you're doin behind the wheel. Which is sounds like you do.

Chances it will yield a better 60' time than 90% of the 6MT drivers out there too.

My 90 CRX Si would bark the tires into 3rd. It was a low 16 second car 
I don't have a problem loosing traction with 275/30/20’s on the back. 
The OEM wheels are like trying to drive on wet roads most of the time.
Just keep adding boost until the desired result is obtained.
