This is probably a very dumb question, but how do fwd """"""performance""""""" car engineers/tuners set their vehicles up to get decent traction under acceleration? I'm not thinking about drag cars btw, just hot hatches and the like.

good front suspension, weight, lsd. not that hard when the cars are making 300hp and below

This is why I always strap a sandbag to my hood before a race.

you should just tighten your rear suspension, that's what's causing the traction loss anyway.

car takes off, weight shifts back, rear suspension compresses, front comes off the ground, traction loss, rear suspension rebounds, front end lowers, more weight = more traction, car takes off

So no suspension travel on the rear end on a fwd car=GOAT?

Turning is overrated. The only measure of a car is it's quarter mile time.
