Default Wheelspin..?

Is it normal for the some rear wheelspin when giving it some out of a junction..? Dosen't seem to impede (sp?) progress ie not like in a high power FWD where you just spin on the spot..!

I'm aware of the 50/50 fixed torque split on my car- 05 wrx (ecutek + mods etc...)

i'ts pretty normal as you have weight shift onto the opposite side you are turning,so most the power goes to one side via two tyres,but unlike a two wheel drive car where you spin and dont move you get a bit of spinning but still loads of grip hence the surge in acceleration coming out the corner

No spin at the front and usually both rears light up a bit. I know as I've driven back past and seen the 11's..

Only really noticed this since remapping and mods..!

in that case you'll just have to learn how to use the extra power properly and not waste it along with your tyres ;-)
