It is not that it has too much power, it is getting too much traction on teh front wheels and not enough traction with the rear wheels, which is why it screeches down the street. If it had too much power and no traction (like my friends Protege) then he would sit and spin the tires with no help. My car dosent need help, and I have over double what Srt-4 make. I do it easily, I just have a line loc so that I can shift while burning out. With my drag suspenion I have ALOT of traction. So if you put a bunch of weight in the trunk on that Srt-4 then he would just sit there and roast the tires with just the e-brake. I know that Srt-4 are the fastest car for under 20K and that their motors have alot of potential, but if the car has no weight on the rear tires they arn't gonna get traction. If you want to know know how to get more weight to the rear tires look at rear wheel drive cars that the drag strip, their tring to get traction with the rears, weight on the front tires causes them to spin. Now with the Srt-4 with all the weight on the front tires causing the rear ones to have no traction is bad for bunouts, but good for racing. Now whos dumb for not knowing how weight transfer works!
