that beast is trash JDM power

[@Iamjustsebas]

Just because the floor looks the same, does not mean is the same type of surface, therefore it won’t give you the right traction, reason as of why these cars let’s you adjust the rpm before launch, so you can kind of figure out which would be the optimal rpm for that specific surface. It will spin but will put the power down faster, it is obvious more complicated than 4 wheel drive and it won’t be as effective, but sure as hell won’t be that bad.

As an owner of a supercharged 2020 Mustang GT auto it was quite clear that the GT500 driver had no idea how to drive such a vehicle. When you launch the 500 you have to do it at an rpm that is enough not to make it bog but not too much where it just spins and does nothing. Takes a lot of practice and you need a really good semi slick on a dry road.
