Diff. Suspension. Driver training.

The latter is more important.

What brand, type and tread do you have on the front tyres?

It really is hard to tell which posts are serious these days.

If serious - better suspension and tyres will help, but it will always spin. spikey little turbo and FWD.

If not serious - sell it and get the S3.

Stiffen up the suspension and have an anti-lift kit installed.

LSD.

you do know the Accelerator isn't an on/off switch ?

I had a Focus ST running 315 BHP and it only spun the wheels when I wanted it too, ease in the power in the lower gears and drive to the road conditions ( weather wise)

without becoming a willy waving competition because there is always somebody with more, I run 420ps through the front wheels and it can put the power down.

learn the throttle isn't on/off.
