For maximum traction puposes only, I cannot recommend the F1 GS-D3's. If you want traction, get an R-compound tire or drive within the limits of the tires. Considering that you have an AP2, the little bit of extra torque coupled with the closer ratio tranny, I'm not suprised that you can break 'em free.

Are we gonna start a pool to see how long before you need a new diff?

Oh wait....one last option....the gas pedal does not ALWAYS have to be pushed to the floor.
You from Mars or something? Don't have to be pushed down all the way??? WTF.. Then you would be forced to go SLOW.....
