Hi there

A question guys, I used to own a CSL but really can't remember the answer to my question.

Building a track focused M3, current weight is around 1330kg with a weight distribution of around 54/46 so no longer 50/50. Power is 367BHP!
KW Clubsports and car is corner weighted.

I am on 265/18/35 cups all round and it's very wheelspin happy.

DRY Traction
1st gear - can't go full throttle at any point, wheelspin, 1/2 throttle at most.
2nd gear - Only full throttle with heat in tyres, otherwise slight wheel spin.
3rd - no problems!

WET Traction
1st gear - LOL
2nd gear - Tyres full temperature, ease it in and maybe, but typically lots of wheelspin.
3rd gear - typically OK.

So those with CSL's on cups or track focused M3's how is your traction? Can any of you floor it in second in the wet without issues?

Just wondering if I have a lack of rear traction and if so if there are any mods I can do for rear traction apart from putting bags of sand in the boot or bodies lol. :D
