Traction is the problem at lower speeds.
They limit boost in 1st and 2nd but this
does not overcome the problem that there
is only that much power that you can send
through those front wheels at lower speeds.
In fact the 310HP version can spin its wheels
in 3rd gear in truns if you're not carefull.
I have the 260HP version and I can assure you that
the TC already has problems in 1st gear on everything
thats dusty or wet. Spins the wheels real quick in 1st
if I am not carefull.
In 2nd and above it's not a problem on a dry road.
In any case the 310Hp version of the engine is a hammer
and it would do a lot better in a AWD or RWD car.
Regards,
Coolknight
