Driving Impressions today

Subject: Driving Impressions today

First off, I'm ready for the ration of shit I'll probably get for posting this....No, I am not "bragging" this is a serious question.

I took the car out last night and I was doing 68 MPH. I put the pedal down and the tires went loose and the ass went sideways before I let off the pedal.

I'm not even done with the tune, and I can't keep the back wheels planted, at any speed, actually makes me a bit nervous. The second it downshifts, the tires break.

Today, at 45 I put it down, same thing. And at 55, and at 65.

When the tune is done, it's only going to get worse. The motor buzzes up like a two cycle weed wacker when the tires let go.

Is this typical? I have no idea what kind of power we're talking, as the tune isn't done and there's no dyno number yet.

The tires are BFGs about 3 years old with less than 5000 miles. Even new they look like slicks with few lines in them. I didn't buy the tires, the previous owner did, about 1000 miles before I purchased the car.

Am I doing something wrong? Seriously very unsettling to feel the ass go sideways at 60MPH...and 50, and 40.
