isn't the traction control on these pretty lax at the best of times?

TC not to good
did have very big spin on blue bell hill 6 months ago :
2x 360 and a 180
only two lanes with armco each side ... court it in the end
front tyre bit in to wheel arch , was very low at the front then .
so new wing and tyre very lucky , had mrs and my boy in the car at the time
very long story , but in short hit some oil at 70mph

old wheels and before the carbon fibre door handles

rear arches tubbed,

Why's that then?

To fit 9.5" rims to aid traction. Stock tyres are only 235's now 007 has 275 or 285's fitted

had to cut inner wheel arches out to fit the new wheels
now running 285 30 19 on 9.5 rims

Nice car.

Just 1 question.
are yor figures right? thats over 20% loss from engine to wheels (similar to my Impreza) I thought normally rwd cars would be around 10-15%loss.

figs right ,has alot to do with the S/C
