Default why my car doesnt spin tires.?

my car is making 200 whp but my car never spins even between ***** maybe a lil spin thats it. mean while my boys car 89hatch even tho u may say it wieghs less it only wieght like 200 pounds less... well anyways his car is probably not makin morethan 170 whp... but his car always spin all the way to like 4th gearwhy is that... i was thinking its kus of my bushing on the front end on the front lca's and etc... wat you think ?

also he has coilovers i have full one piece coilovers prolly makes a difference but still wondering

I've never seen a 170hp car spin the tires in 3rd and 4th. Are there tires on his rims?

you are complaining your car isn't spinning the tires? most people would love to get their cars to hook without spinning the tires

do you win when you race him?

is he on slicks?

are you on slicks?

what color is the sky?

why does he have a one piece front end on a crx?

why don't you have one?

perhaps that is why he doesn't spin, cause of the front end?

do you have coilovers?

do you have shocks?

are his bushings worn?

does he have traction bars?

does he use traction control?

do you both run motec m880's?

who has the better ignition system?

does one car have a 10" sub in the back and the other have a 12" sub??

did you dyno in Utah?

if you can answer these questions we will get down to the bottom of it ASAP !!!!!

Check your clutch, and maybe your boys clutch has a crucial pressure plate? Some cars are just real light from the factory sometimes? I dunno...

I wish I had that problem. Anything above 2 grand on a launch for me is a smoke show.
